Tom Karlo

product manager and Public Speaker in Europe

I'm a product manager, technology evangelist and public speaker. I'm currently focused on building tools to help augmented reality creators to build experiences people love.

I've been a product leader at Amazon, Google, Android, YouTube, and Stripe as well as several other venture startups, and I was also previously an investment banker and technology journalist.

I was the PM for Android System UI and worked on key features including the lock screen, launcher, notifications system, and system settings as well as the storage and printing frameworks.

At YouTube, I conceived and launched their new shopping platform, and grew their nascent creator commerce platform into a global program used by tens of thousands of content creators.

I've presented at Vidcon LA and London, the global Android OEM summit, YouTube Forge (internal), YouTube Creator pop-ups, and other venues.

I'm a current or past advisor to a number of for- and non-profit ventures, including Khali Min cosmetics, Cheq, InSITE, Maximum Fun, and Takeoff Space.
