Inhi brings two decades of experience scaling enterprise software and digital AI businesses. She is now bridging the gap between digital and physical AI for complex work in the real world. Inhi is the CEO of Niantic Spatial, a physical AI and research frontier company. As a spinout from Niantic Labs which pioneered augmented reality games for people, Niantic Spatial is an early stage startup based in San Francisco pioneering real world models for machines – robots, wearables, agents, autonomous vehicles – and people.

Previously, Inhi was President at DocuSign. She led product, engineering, design, security, customer support, channels and partnerships, growing the customer base from 1 million to 1.4 million paying organizations and taking the company from $2B to $3B in revenue, including its first ever full year of profit. She oversaw one of the largest SaaS and data platforms in the world, innovating with genAI early and driving API traffic to represent over 50% of all platform interactions. Before her operating role, she served four years on DocuSign's board, advising the CEO and leadership team during a period of hyper-growth from $250 million to $2 billion in revenue.

Before DocuSign, Inhi spent twenty years at IBM. She led Global Strategic Partnerships – a $10B+ responsibility – working with the world's largest technology companies including Apple, Google, Microsoft, Salesforce and Amazon, as well as the world's leading consulting firms. As GM of Watson Customer Engagement, she ran P&L across enterprise software, eCommerce and supply chain solutions. Earlier she served as GM of Big Data, building IBM's portfolio across Hadoop, stream computing and machine learning at a time when few enterprise companies were taking those technologies seriously. She was also integral to IBM's acquisition of The Weather Company and has been published and quoted widely on the future of big data and AI.

Inhi has given a TED Talk on data and healthcare – reflecting her belief that the most important applications of AI are still ahead of us. She serves on the boards of Otter.ai – the first voice AI agent used by over three million people, reaching over $140 million ARR – and AnitaB.org, the largest global nonprofit advancing women in STEM. She holds a law degree from North Carolina Central University School of Law and a degree in Biology and History from Duke.

When she's not thinking about all things AI, she's been known to climb mountains, most recently Everest Base Camp and Yosemite Half Dome.
