Over the last two decades, Arte has built companies, launched new initiatives inside global tech leaders, and helped create partner ecosystems around some of the most transformative technology shifts - from mobile to conversational AI, generative AI, and now agentic AI.
Arte currently is a Director of Strategic Partnerships and Corporate Development for AI-native startups at Microsoft. He previously drove startup GTM for Bedrock and AgentCore across the West Coast of North America at AWS, and before that created and led AWS's Global Conversational AI partner program from scratch.
A serial entrepreneur, Arte was founder and CEO of two tier-1 VC backed startups: Dashbot, a conversational AI analytics platform he grew to 20,000 customers processing 90 billion messages which received six acquisition offers; and Motally, a mobile analytics platform he sold to Nokia.
Arte is a frequent speaker and author on generative and agentic AI, and has spent over a decade building community around emerging technology, including co-founding two startup accelerator programs. He is an MIT alum.
Speaking engagements include MWC, SXSW, MobileBeat, VoiceSummit, World AI Cannes Festival, and more
