MEET THE TEAM

We are big enough to serve you, and small enough to know you.

• David Berg Chief Executive Officer (CEO) David spent 5 years in waste management sales before launching CommanderAI. When he’s not building the future, he’s probably convincing his team that oat milk lattes count as a business expense.
• Shantanu Bhardwaj Chief Technology Officer (CTO) With over 15 years of founding and scaling deep-tech ventures, Shan consistently translates cutting-edge innovation into practical, scalable products. On the weekends, he can be found speeding down the slopes.
