Tript Singh Lamba is the founder and CEO of ProductNow, an AI-native operating system for product teams that he built largely as a solo developer (with one intern) before raising a $6M seed round led by Sierra Ventures in July 2025. Over two decades he built flagship platforms at Microsoft, Google, and Expedia - helping launch Bing and the early core of Microsoft Messenger and Azure, co-founding Google's Ads AI personalization team, leading YouTube Ads through hypergrowth, and serving as SVP of Consumer Product at Expedia. His thesis: with AI accelerating engineering, the real bottleneck is no longer code but turning strategy into execution.
Michael Schechter is Corporate Vice President of Search Growth and Experiences at Microsoft, where he has spent over two decades shaping how people discover information on the web. A computer science graduate of the University of Maryland, he has been at the center of Bing's evolution - from leading the captions feature in its early days to orchestrating the AI-powered transformation of Bing with Copilot Search. Known for his candid voice on search industry trends and his willingness to engage publicly on topics like citation transparency and AI reliability, Schechter represents the rare executive who can speak both engineer and user fluently.
