Summary
Editor’s note: The following is the fifth profile in a series of articles about startup founders from non-technical backgrounds who have launched successful venture-backed companies. When an executive at Replit suggested that Cecilia Ziniti seemed distracted by artificial intelligence, she was not an engineer working on the coding startup’s AI products. The executive told her ‘You’re a great GC and good at business development … but it seems like maybe your head’s not in it because you’re so into this AI thing,’” Ziniti recalled News. “And it was true,” she said. By then, Ziniti had spent roughly two decades working as a lawyer at companies such as Amazon, Cruise and Anki.
