Ly Tran is the CEO of Belle.ai (BelleTorus Corporation), a Cambridge, Massachusetts computer vision company whose AI reads smartphone photos to help clinicians evaluate more than 1,600 skin conditions across 60-plus countries. He took the helm in 2021 after co-founding AtHoc, the crisis-communications company he built into the top supplier to the U.S. Defense and Homeland Security markets before BlackBerry acquired it in 2015. A Princeton history graduate with a Harvard MBA, Tran pairs a go-to-market operator's instincts with board and investor roles at companies like Jane Technologies and Cirkul.
Garrett Waggoner is the co-founder and CEO of Cirkul, the Tampa-based hydration company whose reusable bottle and flip-dial flavor cartridges turned a college locker-room frustration into a business valued at $1 billion. A former Dartmouth safety who played professional football in the CFL and worked as a car valet to bootstrap the idea, Waggoner built Cirkul into a roughly $378M-revenue, 800-person operation by insisting on owning its own manufacturing.
