Jyoti Black

Jyoti's career has been in technology — building products, developing partnerships, scaling systems, and forming diverse teams. She is energized by roles at the intersection of hardware and software.

She has held key leadership roles at Google, Facebook, Microsoft, and Motorola. She is currently at Google leading Product Operations for Android Partnerships and Productivity Engineering.

At Facebook, she built partnerships for connectivity solutions for emerging markets and worked with data analytics for privacy initiatives. She came to Facebook from Microsoft, where for five years, she led teams, built 30+ partnerships that launched 150+ global products. Before that, she spent twelve years at Motorola; the first half was spent developing the initial GPRS network followed by EGPRS, 3G, and 4G technologies (WiMAX). The second half was in the mobile division, positioning Razor and Moto F3 for emerging markets.

Jyoti enjoys running and is committed to running one marathon a year. She has completed 14 marathons in 12 states so far and is always training for her next race.

She and her husband, Chris, relocated to the Bay Area in 2015. She took a year off after Facebook to learn about the world of startups through investing.
