Turning enterprise AI pilots into production-ready systems as Chief AI Officer at Circle.
Li Fan directs how Circle builds and scales artificial intelligence. Instead of treating AI as a side project, she works across teams to weave it directly into the company’s products and daily workflows.
Before shifting her focus to AI, she served as Circle’s CTO. Her engineering background runs deep, with previous leadership stints at Lime, Pinterest, Google, and Baidu. She knows what it takes to bridge the gap between a flashy demo and a reliable production deployment.
Li studied computer science at Fudan University and the University of Wisconsin–Madison.
