Frank Chang brings nearly two decades of senior technical program management experience from Microsoft and Amazon, where he led large-scale ML systems including Amazon Advertising, giving him an unusually deep operator perspective on building AI infrastructure compared to most early-stage investors. He focuses his board work on technically ambitious AI companies across safety-critical sectors like industrial control, drug discovery, and ML security, with a particular emphasis on Canadian and European deep-tech startups rather than just US-based application-layer companies.
