Marissa Mayer

Marissa Mayer is a consumer technology executive with more than 25 years of experience who serves as Founder and CEO of Dazzle AI. Tasked with building Dazzle from the ground up after shutting down her previous venture, Sunshine, she leads a small, product-focused team of around 15 people. Her scope covers everything from product design and AI strategy to fundraising, having closed an $8 million seed round led by Forerunner Ventures' Kirsten Green. With Dazzle, Marissa is defining a new category of personal AI assistant at a moment when consumer AI is entering its next wave of adoption.

At Dazzle, Marissa drives the company's product vision for an AI assistant built around a different data source than its competitors. She recently led the launch of Dazzle's flagship assistant, which uses a user's camera roll, rather than email, calendars, or typed prompts, to understand their life and proactively suggest everything from calendar entries to family activities. Marissa specializes in translating complex AI capabilities into simple, human-centered experiences, drawing on her years leading product and engineering teams at Google and Yahoo to guide Dazzle's design and go-to-market decisions.
