Meet the Panel

Gabriel Savit

CEO and Co-founder @ Runway; iOS Engineer
"I've been an iOS engineer my whole career. I loved my time working closely with teammates building awesome mobile products. I didn’t love those weeks I was on call managing a release: stepping through a big checklist, bouncing between tools, and herding cats on Slack. With Runway, we're trying to connect all those dots and make release coordination a breeze."
