Stephen Lynch is the Chief Executive Officer of Algolia – the industry-leading AI search and retrieval platform. He is a product and technology leader with two decades of experience building and scaling AI-driven software for the world’s most demanding organizations.

Stephen joined AlphaSense in 2018 and spent eight years helping grow it from a high-potential startup into the category leader in AI-powered market intelligence. During his tenure, ARR grew 40x to more than $600 million – serving more than 6,000 enterprises worldwide, including 88% of the S&P 100, 80% of the world’s largest banks, and all 20 of the largest global pharmaceutical companies.

As EVP of Product Development, Stephen led AlphaSense’s global product, design, and engineering organizations through $1.7B in funding, major platform expansions, and four strategic acquisitions.
