I'm Stephen Mordue, an AI-native product and technology leader in San Francisco with 15+ years across medical devices, B2B / B2C apps, and consumer electronics. I build AI applications that ship and move margins, and I'd like to do that as your VP of AI Platform.
Zuora is rethinking how an established enterprise software company builds and operates in an AI-native world, and is hiring a VP of AI Platform to define the shared capabilities behind its next generation of products. [1]
Agents that reconcile usage, flag revenue leakage, and draft billing changes for human approval, measured in days-to-close and leakage recovered.
A shared layer for retrieval, evals, guardrails, and agent tooling so product teams stop rebuilding the same stack, with build-versus-buy calls documented for each capability.
Packaging and pricing templates that help Zuora customers monetize their own AI features, a natural extension of Zuora's billing core.
Also: early team at AliveCor (FDA 510(k) files, HIPAA), Stryker Endoscopy, Abbott Diabetes Care, and Micronics; VP of Product at Kenzen; 6 patents; B.S. Mechanical Engineering, University of Washington. I work AI-native every day in Cursor, Claude Code, ChatGPT, Copilot, and Grok.
Meet the leaders who own the outcomes, inventory live AI efforts and data, and agree on 3 measurable target metrics. Ship one working prototype against a real workflow.
Take the top use case to a production pilot with evals, guardrails, and a baseline. Publish a prioritized AI roadmap with build, buy, or partner calls for each capability.
Turn the pilot into a paved road other teams can reuse, report results in dollars and hours, and line up the next two bets with owners and dates.
If this is useful for the VP of AI Platform search or a related AI leadership need, I'd welcome 20 minutes.
