Ashish Desai is the CEO of Monograph, the San Francisco software company that helps architecture and engineering firms run the business side of the practice - budgets, staffing, forecasting and billing. An electrical engineer turned product leader, he scaled product at 99designs, Handshake and Shutterfly before joining Monograph as Chief Product Officer in July 2023 and stepping up to CEO in 2026, succeeding co-founder Robert Yuen. His pitch is simple: software that understands how architects actually work, so firms can spend more time on design and less time guessing at their numbers.
