I'm Mariena Quintanilla, founder and CEO of Mellonhead.

As a tech industry veteran, I bring 20 years of experience leading customer, technology, and product initiatives at old favorites like Yahoo! and Foursquare. I'm a self-proclaimed data nerd, and I've been helping customers get value from Data and AI products in advertising, product development, and analytics for over a decade.

I'm deeply committed to talent development, focusing on programs that promote the advancement of female, black, Latino, and queer engineers. As an engineering leader, I've established training and professional development programs. I've also mentored early-career engineers and US Veterans. I advocate for and have developed apprenticeships and alternative career paths into technology through mentorship and partnerships with organizations such as Pursuit.

I hold a B.S. in Computer Science from Carnegie Mellon University. When I'm not geeking out about advancements in data and AI, I enjoy hiking in the Pacific Northwest and learning a little bit of everything, whether at home in Los Angeles or while traveling the world.
