Meet the Team

    Mark Anthony Robles

    CEO & Founder

    Proud single dad and San Francisco native here! I've been in the tech scene since 2017, working my way up from an individual contributor to an executive-level entrepreneur. I’ve been focused on robotics since 2020, helping businesses and consumers connect with AI in a laid-back, consultative way. I love playing basketball, cheering on the Golden State Warriors, and, at family parties, I can’t resist belting out karaoke—just until my family members finally decide they've had enough!

    I’m a seasoned marketing professional with an eye for media production and design. I’ve been at the forefront of the budding robotics sector here in the United States since 2020. I helped establish brands and launch new and exciting commercial products in my hometown of the fabulous Las Vegas. As a fan of cinema and  the arts, I especially enjoy storytelling through the silver screen. Let's work together!
