Lunch/Keynote Speaker:

Andrew “Sri” Sridhar

Andrew “Sri” Sridhar is host of the Warrior Poet Podcast and is an expert on leadership and operational excellence. He helps executives have greater impact through battle-tested leadership principles and improved decision-making.

Sri served as a Navy SEAL officer and is a veteran AI leader at companies like Amazon, Wayfair, and Capital One. He has led product teams at two startups backed by Andreessen-Horowitz, holding a C-suite position at one of them.

Sri is a graduate of the U.S. Naval Academy at Annapolis and holds an MBA from Harvard Business School.

During his military service, Sri deployed to Southeast Asia, Europe, and Iraq. He is a recipient of the Bronze Star with Combat “V” for valor.

Nevertheless, diverse audiences quickly realize that Sri is not just a “military bro” when they learn he is half-Indian and has worked at multiple women’s fashion companies.

Sri prides himself on approaching serious topics with humor and humility.
