Before joining Uber, Danny was General Manager of Amazon Machine Learning providing internal teams with access to machine intelligence. He also launched an Amazon Web Services product that offers Machine Learning as a Cloud Service to the public. Prior to Amazon, he was Principal Development Manager at Microsoft where he led a product team focused on large-scale Machine Learning for Big Data. Danny spent eight years on Speech Recognition Systems, first as CTO of General Magic, Inc., and then as founder of his own company, Vocomo Software. During this time he was working on General Motor’s OnStar Virtual Advisor, one of the largest deployments of an intelligent personal assistant until Siri. Danny started his career as a Computer Scientist at IBM Research.

Bill was previously Chief Marketing Officer at the GSMA, where he was responsible for the Mobile World Congress, as well as marketing, corporate communications and member services.

Gajda has held other executive positions elsewhere in the telecom sector, including: Vice President, Corporate and Marketing Communications for TELUS Corporation, Vice President, Communications for Bell Canada International and Global Brand Director for Ericsson in Stockholm. His first position was in the Canadian public service, where he directed communications on constitutional affairs, international trade and environmental issues.

Trevor Pollard is the Vice President of Architecture and Design at Westfield where he uses his creative and analytical skills to design places for social experiences. In this capacity, he leads interdisciplinary teams through the creative process for development, repositioning and new frontier projects.

In addition to being instrumental in the design and construction of many Westfield projects, Trevor has led initiatives looking at the future of shopping as well as the future of the traveler journey as it related to the Westfield airport experience, working with innovation companies like IDEO along with Westfield Labs.
