Casper Labs, a leader in AI governance technologies, today
announced Greg Whalen as its Chief Technology Officer (CTO). Whalen
will lead the Casper Labs engineering team with an immediate focus
on the Q3 launch of Prove AI, an AI governance solution built with
support from IBM Consulting. With over 20 years of experience in
distributed computing and AI, he has led engineering teams at AWS,
Xendit, and Experian. Whalen will play a central role in cementing
Casper Labs as an AI governance leader and supporting enterprise
adoption of Prove AI around the globe as demand for AI governance
solutions continues to grow.
“From the initial steps of developing machine learning models to
managing data governance and provenance, my experience leading
AI model development has given me a deep understanding of the
challenges faced by the market,” said Whalen. “I’m eager to
introduce a product that will help our customers navigate these
pain points, allowing them to innovate and build with AI models
more effectively. Solving these problems for our customers is a top
priority, and I look forward to driving this mission forward.”
Whalen comes to Casper Labs from Xendit, the southeast Asian
financial infrastructure startup recently valued at nearly $1.5
billion, where he served as CTO. Before Xendit, Whalen was a
director and general manager at Amazon Web Services, leading their
Amazon WorkMail division. In his tenure at Amazon WorkMail, Whalen
strengthened enterprise adoption and drove revenue by five times,
utilizing data science and customer conversations and feedback to
inform product and feature development. He also helped grow the
Amazon WorkMail team with key leadership hires across product,
engineering, and sales.
“Casper Labs is committed to helping businesses harness the
transformative power of AI while mitigating risks,” said Mrinal
Manohar, CEO of Casper Labs. “Greg’s extensive experience in
technology leadership, spanning both growth-stage startups and
large enterprises, along with his deep expertise in AI and
distributed computing, makes him an ideal fit for this role. As we
embark on our next phase of growth with the launch of Prove AI,
Greg’s invaluable experience in developing and scaling
enterprise-grade products globally will be instrumental.”
