After leading technology roles at UPS, AT&T and, most recently, as the engineering leader at Alexa AI and AWS AI at Amazon, Venkatesh Baglodi has just joined the proptech startup Zavvie as its chief technology officer.
“Ven is a seasoned leader with deep experience in building artificially intelligent platforms. A creator of large-scale data and applied science solutions, he brings to Zavvie three decades of diverse industry experience from a wide range of industries: e-commerce and banking and finance, telecommunications and logistics,” said Lane Hornung, co-founder and CEO of Zavvie. “This is a huge catch for Zavvie; 2022 is the year when leveraging data will help us better serve our clients and rapidly expand our nationwide footprint.”
A software technology company that provides real estate brokerages with a marketplace for buying and selling solutions via their own white-labeled platform, Zavvie offers brokerages the newest ways to buy and sell homes while keeping agents at the center of every transaction.
Before becoming Amazon’s engineering leader for Alexa AI and AWS AI, Baglodi served as a senior technology leader at Amazon Prime. His experience also includes seven years at AT&T as principal architecture/development manager, a senior software architect, R&D for three years at McKesson Provider Technologies (now Change Healthcare) and six years at UPS as lead systems architect/technical manager. He has a Ph.D. in computer science from Nova Southeastern University, an M.S. degree from Southern Polytechnic State University and a B.S. degree from The Institution of Engineers (India).
