Raz Choudhury is the founder and CEO of Sam.ai, as well as its AI architect. He started his career at 19 as an engineer at IBM. Inspired by his grandfather’s entrepreneurial spirit, Raz launched USAWeb from his mom’s garage in Woodside, New York, in 2002. Over time, USAWeb evolved into Office Interactive and eventually became Fractional.hr, a leading consultancy in AI/ML, cloud security, and fractional CTO services.

In 2016, Raz founded Sam.ai, working alongside a dedicated team of engineers to introduce Generative Business Intelligence and Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) in 2019. Sam.ai, an award-winning B2B SaaS platform, aims to be a trusted resource for companies seeking to enhance their marketing and client acquisition. Sam.ai stands out as the only relationship and marketing hub that users can interact with conversationally to accomplish tasks.

Outside of work, Raz is a proud father, an avid athlete, and a lifelong student of ancient yogic philosophy. Under his leadership, Sam.ai is on track to become carbon neutral by 2025, collaborating with key partners to achieve this goal.
