Shai Alon is a Google Cloud Startup Evangelist based in Israel with 11 years of experience as a founder, product and engineering leader focused on cloud, AI and security. He’s a two‑time founder—Co-Founder & CTO of Chat Leap (a no-code AI chatbot platform) and founder of RapidSec, which was acquired by Orca Security—after which he led Orca’s agentless API security and product platform teams. At Orca he shipped an AI-powered natural language search, an AI security product for cloud ML systems, and automated the documentation pipeline, saving the company over 10,000 hours. He blends hands‑on full‑stack engineering and front-end expertise (Totango, Tabris.js) with product strategy and intrapreneurial execution. In his current role he champions Google Cloud’s AI-driven tooling for startups, with a practical emphasis on demos and integrations to accelerate adoption. A less obvious thread through his career: he pioneered smart contextual chatbot conversations before LLMs and built "Google Maps–like" graph visualizations to make complex cloud estates intuitive.
