Jerry Liu
Jerry Liu is the co-founder and CEO of LlamaIndex, the open-source data framework that became essential infrastructure for connecting large language models to enterprise data. What started as a weekend side project in November 2022 - an indexing tool he built to feed his own data into GPT-3 - grew into a company with $46.5M in total funding, 600,000+ monthly downloads, and clients including Salesforce, KPMG, and Carlyle. A Princeton computer science graduate who published GAN research as an undergrad, Liu moved from Quora's feed ranking team to Uber's autonomous vehicle research labs before co-founding LlamaIndex with former Uber colleague Simon Suo in early 2023.
