Gerald is an time-time speaker across BSCAI and ISSA, and is a well known technology and expert for Building Service Contractors with a one-of-a-kind background. Gerald is a rare leader from Silicon Valley who has worked for some of the most influential technology companies of our time including Meta, Stripe, and Dropbox. He has previously built and sold a technology company in his early 20's funded by Sam Altman, the current CEO of OpenAI. He graduated with a degree in computer science and electrical engineering with an emphasis in AI and machine learning in 2.5 years, Summa Cum Laude from U.C. Berkeley. Gerald's mom is a property manager and he grew up being taken to buildings after school at a young age. He realized how underserved the BSC industry was, and spent a year speaking with over 600 Building Service Contractors to better understand their needs for technology and software. He realized there were common patterns with BSC's needing more powerful and easy to use technology, so he raised millions of dollars from the best investors in Silicon Valley, and assembled a team of top software engineers from Google, Harvard, and Asana. He is now a known speaker across both BSCAI and ISSA, being featured at numerous events, webinars, and podcasts.
