# Shray Jain-Surana

Shray Jain-Surana. I work on product, go-to-market, and programs in frontier tech.

## About

I've spent my career between the people who build technical products and the people who need them, across product, go-to-market, and program management. I've taken technical products across North America, EMEA, and APJ. Outside work, I help build founder communities in Europe and mentor people through Leland.

I like taking frontier tech out of the lab and into platforms that developers and companies actually adopt, and the path there hasn't been linear. At Quantinuum I owned a cybersecurity platform end to end, from bringing on a Fortune 100 customer to the pricing, enablement, and partner work that took it across North America, EMEA, and APJ. I've also led self-serve product and early commercial work at a YC-backed startup, worked in strategic finance and operations on a $300M merger and an EMEA buildout, and helped turn an LLM supply chain prototype into pilots.

Outside work, I invest and learn with Nodes Ventures and am a board observer at Community TechAid. I also co-launched the London chapter of Founders Running Club and helped with chapters elsewhere in Europe. I'm involved with Physical I/O, a community for people working on physical AI, and I coach and mentor through Leland.

I'm based in Antwerp, London, and San Francisco.

## On repeat

Twenty films I keep coming back to, and one playlist I leave on. No rankings, no reasons, just the things that stuck. Lives on the home Culture section (not its own route).

A sample of the films: The Diving Bell and the Butterfly (2007), The Intouchables (2011), Django Unchained (2012), The Grand Budapest Hotel (2014), The Dark Knight Rises (2012), and 15 more. Listening: [Listening](https://open.spotify.com/playlist/24toVrjLtFywejuGPKmRVr).
