CTO at Pearl
📍 New York City Metropolitan Area, United States

Gad Sakin is the CTO at Pearl, where he leverages over 15 years of experience leading large technology teams. He specializes in building FDA-cleared, AI-based products for healthcare, having previously scaled teams of up to 200 people at Viz.ai. Colleagues describe him as ambitious, focused, sharp, and a great team player.

As a parent, Gad has seen how intimidating the dentists chair can be for children. This personal experience influenced the development of a kid-friendly user interface for Pearls dental AI, designed to help dentists explain procedures in a way that kids can understand and feel comfortable with.

He believes the biggest hurdle for AI adoption in clinical settings isnt the technology, but the challenge of changing established human workflows.
