His recent engagement was growing and scaling Bossa Nova in the areas of cloud, data, robotics, and AI to deliver on almost 600 robotic devices in stores delivering near real time insights.

He graduated from Saint Vincent College in 1999 with a B.S. in Computer Science.

Previously, Hanna worked at Kiva Systems, a mobile robotic fulfillment start-up which was acquired by Amazon in 2012 and re-branded Amazon Robotics. Hanna worked in various roles in Deployment Engineering and Advance Technology Supply Chain.

Prior to her time at Kiva Systems/Amazon Robotics, Hanna worked at Target Corporation in various Operations and Supply Chain Leadership roles. Hanna earned her MBA from Baker University and a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration with a functional major in Management from University of Central Missouri.

Outside of work, Hanna treasures spending time with her family and friends and has a love for global travel. She is also passionate about volunteering for various causes geared towards eliminating extreme poverty globally.

Jake was the first product hire at Vicarious and leads the definition of building blocks towards general purpose automation solutions. Previously, he lead Product Development at Bossa Nova Robotics focusing on solving challenges relating to large scale SLAM, human-robot interaction, and product recognition.

Before entering the robotics space, Jake worked as a strategy consultant for L.E.K. Consulting, where he specialized in aviation and biotech. Jake holds a Masters in Engineering Management from Dartmouth College, a B.S. in Civil Engineering, and a B.A. in Economics from UCLA.

Michael was previously a member of the Max Planck Center for Visual Computing and Communication, both at Stanford University and MPII. He earned his PhD from TU Darmstadt for his research on knowledge transfer for object class recognition.

Michael’s work has been published in CVPR, ICCV, ECCV, ICLR, and he received back-to-back Best Paper Awards at CVPR-3dRR. He is thrilled to be able to teach intelligent machines how to see.

Prior to Vicarious, Karen was Director of Mechanical Engineering at Johnson & Johnson in the Robotics and Digital Solutions group.  She joined J&J as part of its acquisition of Verb Surgical, a surgical robotics startup and joint venture between J&J and Google.  Karen joined Verb as employee 5, bringing initial system technology developed at SRI to the new company and helping grow the company to over 400 in her role as technical lead for their robotic arm development program.  Before Verb, Karen worked at SRI International on surgical robotics but also on projects ranging from efficient humanoid walking to silent robotic floor cleaning devices, and self-sterilizing catheters to low-cost robotic components and variable transmissions.

Prior to joining SRI full-time, Karen worked as an engineering fellow with the MISTRAL pediatric medical device consortium, working alongside surgeons at Lucille Packard Children’s Hospital Stanford to design and develop medical devices to address unmet needs. She graduated with a MS Engineering degree from Stanford’s Joint Program in Design, and prior to that earned a BS in Physics from Harvey Mudd College.

Miguel previously earned his PhD in machine learning at Universidad Carlos III de Madrid. In his thesis, Miguel developed a sparse Gaussian process model which has become the de facto benchmark for fast regression algorithms. Follow-up work includes co-proposing the re-parameterization trick for VAEs.

Since then, Miguel has been working on brain-inspired knowledge representation, inference, and learning: CAPTCHA breaking, cognitive maps representation, cognitive programming, etc. He has been a visiting scholar at the University of Cambridge and the University of Manchester, and has been published in Science, NIPS, ICML, JMLR, and several IEEE journals.

Before joining Vicarious, Norm previously led the Manufacturing Operations at Tibit Communications where he spent 4 years implementing and scaling the manufacturing, supply chain and order fulfillment distribution solutions for the SFP+ Passive Optical Network product lines that serviced global telecommunications network operators.

Prior to his time at Tibit Communications, Norm has held various manufacturing and supply chain executive positions and was chartered with scaling several start-up companies from Series A to IPO or acquisition. Norm holds a Bachelor of Science Degree in Industrial Engineering from Penn State University.

Prior to joining Vicarious, Simon worked as a consultant with the Boston Consulting Group, where he advised Tech and Industrial companies on operations and commercialization.
