Dan Teodosiu

I have 20+ years of experience leading the development of successful consumer and enterprise software and services in the US and Europe. I am passionate about building awesome products and engineering teams, and have significant experience in recruiting and managing large engineering teams, a deep and broad understanding of technology, and a keen sense for defining products and focusing on what matters.

Most recently, I was responsible for building up Google’s new dev center in Paris, hiring over 100 engineers for projects that include Chrome for iOS, YouTube channels, and the Google Cultural Institute.

As the VP of Engineering for VirtuOz, I delivered a scalable conversational agent service with industry-leading self-service and analytical capabilities for customers including eBay, PayPal and Symantec.

From 2006 to 2008 I built a dev center for Microsoft in Ireland, where I hired a team of 50 and shipped products including mobile Hotmail and mobile infrastructure,.

Previously, I was a senior architect at Microsoft in Redmond. I led the s-drive project (a precursor to Dropbox) and shipped Sharing Folders, one of the largest secure P2P file sharing networks with 40M active users in 2006. I drove the file replication technology, shipping the DFSR service in Windows Server 2003 R2 (currently used in millions of AD and DFS instances).

I joined Microsoft through the acquisition of XDegrees, a Bay Area startup I co-founded to develop a peer-to-peer file sharing product. Before that I co-founded and led engineering for Xift (a search engine and automatically-built web directory), created the Virtual Partitions product at Hewlett-Packard Labs, and worked for Alcatel Research in Europe.

I hold a PhD and MS from Stanford University, as well as numerous patents.
