Fardad Zabetian

Fardad Zabetian is the founder and CEO of KUDO, a New York-based platform that puts live human interpretation and AI translation inside video meetings in more than 200 languages. An engineer by training, he spent two decades building the physical hardware of multilingual conferencing - including a role in the 2012 redesign of the United Nations General Assembly Hall - before turning that expertise into a cloud platform. He has founded five companies, invested in more than 20 startups, and built his career around a single idea: that language should not be the border between people.
