Founding GC AI with Cecilia Ziniti

​Join us for a conversation with Cecilia Zin, a technology, startup, and legal executive who has helped shape every major wave of innovation over the past two decades—from the early internet and mobile, to autonomous driving, and now artificial intelligence.

​A three-time General Counsel and Chief Legal Officer, Cecilia has built and scaled legal and business functions at some of the most ambitious venture-backed companies in tech. She is the Founder and CEO of GC AI, the leading AI software platform trusted daily by in-house legal teams at more than 1,000 companies.

​Cecilia was a founding member of Amazon’s Alexa team, began her career as a big-firm lawyer, and is widely known as a trusted executive partner with exceptional business judgment and a track record of accelerating company and product growth. Across her career, she has closed over $425M in venture capital funding, served as corporate secretary to boards for more than six years, and negotiated hundreds of strategic transactions across legal, corporate, and business development disciplines.

​An accomplished litigator turned operator, Cecilia brings a rare perspective on how legal strategy can unlock—not limit—innovation. She is also a named inventor on multiple AI-related patents, an angel investor, and a frequent speaker on leadership, startups, and women in tech. Her insights have been featured on CNN, NPR, Reuters, Marketplace, This Week in Startups, and numerous legal and business publications.

​In this session, Cecilia will share candid lessons from building at the forefront of technological change, leading through hypergrowth, and navigating the intersection of law, AI, and entrepreneurship.
