Garner Chung
Engineering Manager, Human Computation and Data Science, Pinterest

Garner Chung is the engineering manager of the human computation team and the data science team supporting core product, growth, and infrastructure at Pinterest. Previously, he managed the data science team at Opower, where he drove efforts to research and productionize predictive models for all of product and engineering. Many years ago, he studied film at UC Berkeley, where he learned to deconstruct and complicate misleadingly simple narratives. Over the course of his 20 years in the tech industry, he has witnessed exuberance over technology’s great promise ebb and flow, all the while remaining steadfast in his gratitude for having played some small part. As a leader, Garner has learned to drive teams that privilege responsibility and end-to-end ownership over arbitrary commitments.
