Jiren Parikh is the President & CEO of Ghost Robotics (https://www.ghostrobotics.io/), a Philadelphia-based company developing agile, all-weather, unstoppable, autonomous 4-leg robots (also known as Quadrupedal Unmanned Ground Vehicles, or Q-UGVs) which offer superior operability over wheeled and tracked devices on unstructured terrain in rough and demanding environments. Q-UGVs now have a place in a broad range of government and enterprise applications where mobile robots with four legs have inherent advantages over wheels, tracks and even bipedal systems. Q-UGVs can not only manage unstructured terrain well but are built for demanding customers in demanding environments including military, homeland, industrial, energy & mining markets, and as such have the ability to keep humans and K9s out of harm’s way. Jiren is an entrepreneurial leader with 25-years experience building, leading, and turning around technology businesses, and growth functions. Jiren has served a variety of roles during his career including as CEO, COO, CFO, Business Unit Head, and functional leader of business and corporate development, sales, marketing and product management, as well as in board, advisory, interim executive and consulting roles, primarily at early and growth companies, involved in marketing software, SaaS and platforms, mobile and IoT applications, subscription services, digital content, and now robotics.
