Vishal Modi
Vishal Modi is the founder and CEO of Spoonified, a Dallas-area startup building what it calls the world's first intelligent utensil - AI-enabled forks and spoons that identify food, measure portion sizes, and track how fast you eat to automate nutrition logging for chronic-care programs. He spent nearly two decades shipping consumer hardware before this: launching Google Nexus and Moto G phones at Motorola, running Chrome OS and tablet product operations at Lenovo, and building business development and partnerships at edge-device-management company Esper. A Kellogg MBA and computer engineer, he started Spoonified in 2021 after his own struggle with weight management convinced him that the hard part of nutrition tracking is the very first step - getting the data off the plate.
