Anoop Grover

FOUNDER

I help scale complex businesses by building world-class teams and products, with a laser focus on hyper-growth-stage, mission-driven consumer technology. My experience spans the full growth journey—from early-stage startups (0→1) to mature Fortune 500 enterprises (1→5). I've successfully led large-scale teams (2,500+), launched products impacting 100M+ users, managed businesses exceeding $50M in revenue, and overseen more than $1B in strategic spend from conception through launch.

As a seasoned executive with both strategic and hands-on leadership experience, my strength lies in aligning business objectives with cohesive strategies, enabling technology solutions, and driving shareholder value. I have a proven track record of creating business value across diverse cultural and organizational contexts within globally recognized companies such as Uber, Symantec, Sun Microsystems, and Cisco.

Prior to serving as Head of Business Operations at Uber, I was the CIO at FOX Factory, a leading ride dynamics company headquartered in the San Francisco Bay Area.

Additionally, I take great pride in bridging the gap between technology and education, having spent over 15 years lecturing at local universities.
