Caleb Kruse

Caleb Kruse is Chief of Staff at Midjourney, the AI image-generation company, where he helps ship product updates and runs the engine room. Before generative AI, he pointed machine learning at the planet itself: at Earthrise Media he led the technical builds of Global Plastic Watch and Amazon Mining Watch, using satellite data to spot ocean-bound plastic and illegal gold mining in near real time. He studied oceanography at Stanford, led the machine learning teams at Leap Motion, and is a National Geographic Explorer who once drove an ice cream truck 8,600 miles across America to hand out 13,000 scoops and talk to kids about conservation.
