Yuval Dvir

Yuval Dvir has operated through two of the largest technology shifts of the modern era from the inside - Microsoft's digital transformation, and the AI transformation that Google, DeepMind, and SandboxAQ are leading. This makes him a rare translator between the old world and the new. Across twenty years he has turned frontier science into real-world applications at Skype, Microsoft, Google, DeepMind, and now SandboxAQ, the Alphabet spinoff. At Google he built and led the global partner ecosystem behind Gemini and Workspace, cementing Google's distribution advantage and launching Gemini's first-ever global partnerships. He worked with DeepMind and Google Brain on moving science from research to revenue, through partnerships ranging from AI pathology to the connectomics project mapping the neural network of the fruit fly brain. As a founding member of SandboxAQ, he drove the company’s first commercial engagements. He was also behind one of the largest pharma drug discovery deals in partnership with Google Cloud and the DeepMind co-scientist team. He holds an MSc in Applied Neuroscience from King’s College London and an MBA from INSEAD. He is the author of AI-Political (September 2026), which argues that AI is most powerful when it remains apolitical - innately unbiased and truth-seeking, the guardrail humans are not wired to be.
