Joseph Pidala

AI Transformation & Product Strategist

10+ years driving enterprise change in regulated, security-first environments.

About Me.

I’m Joseph, a product strategist focused on emerging technologies reshaping how we work, learn, and move through the world.

Recent work includes owning end-to-end launch readiness for Robinhood Wallet (self-custody) alpha, driving risk mitigation at Meta during high-priority events, and owning product roadmap delivery for a cybersecurity SaaS platform.

Right now, I’m focused on three AI shifts that will deliver outsized, positive impact:

  1. Super-workers: AI will augment people, reduce busywork, and build incentives that make teams more effective.
  2. Super-students (and teachers): Always-available tutoring and teaching support will personalize learning to each student.
  3. Super-vehicles: Autonomous vehicles and robotaxis will make transportation safer and more convenient, and I predict the next car you buy will be your last daily commuter.

I’m also a strong proponent of blockchain technology and its ability to improve our relationship with money, as well as its ability to bring transparency and accountability to the modern banking system.

My core values are simple: loyalty, transparency, and keeping your word. I believe in thinking bigger than you’re supposed to, taking calculated risks, and staying a little weird while building what doesn’t exist yet.

Outside of work, I’ve built a global perspective through time spent living, working, studying, and traveling across 30+ countries. I also study philosophy, train martial arts, play padel, and enjoy a game of chess.

“When you’re a carpenter making a beautiful chest of drawers, you’re not going to use a piece of plywood on the back, even though it faces the wall and nobody will ever see it. You’ll know it’s there, so you’re going to use a beautiful piece of wood on the back. For you to sleep well at night, the aesthetic, the quality, has to be carried all the way through.”
