Paul McDonald

CEO in the SF Bay Area

I'm currently the co-founder and CEO of Aligned, a data collection platform for fine-tuning AI models.

Most recently I was a product director at Google working on ‘Long-term bets’ (mostly LLM applications and strategy).

Prior to that I was the co-founder and CEO of Stockwell a retail automation startup that we sold in 2020, and prior to that I was at Google for 12 years and worked on Gmail and Google's commerce, advertising and cloud computing efforts launching Google Checkout, Google App Engine and several optimization products for AdWords advertisers.
