Jeff Chow

Chief Product and Technology Officer Miro

Last Reviewed: September 18, 2026

Executive Summary

Jeff Chow is Chief Product and Technology Officer at Miro, the visual collaboration platform, a role he has held since 2022 with responsibility for product and technology strategy including the company’s AI work. He has spent more than 25 years building consumer-facing digital products at scale, with senior roles at Google, Tripadvisor, and InVision, and a co-founding role at Springpad. His public argument concerns what he calls team intelligence: that the interesting question about AI in product development is not how much individual work it can replace, but how it changes what a team collectively knows and can do — a framing that follows naturally from a career spent on tools for collaboration rather than tools for individuals.

Professional Journey

Chow took a BS at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and built a career in product leadership at companies where the product is used by very large numbers of people and small design decisions carry disproportionate consequence. He held product leadership roles at Google and headed product and design at Tripadvisor, where part of his focus was on how engineering, product, and design functions actually work together — a preoccupation with the mechanics of collaboration that recurs throughout his career. He also co-founded Springpad.

He moved to InVision as Chief Product Officer and subsequently, according to available sources, as Chief Executive Officer. InVision had built the dominant design prototyping and collaboration tool of the 2010s, and during Chow’s tenure it developed Freehand, its digital whiteboard — a product competing directly with Miro.

In 2022 he joined Miro as Chief Product and Technology Officer. Miro’s category is the infinite canvas: a shared visual workspace where distributed teams do the kind of thinking that used to require a room with a whiteboard, from architecture diagrams and customer journey maps to planning sessions and retrospectives. The platform’s difficulty is that it must serve an enormous range of uses without becoming either too rigid for open-ended thinking or too shapeless to be useful.

The arrival of capable AI made that question sharper rather than simpler, and it is the substance of Chow’s public work. His team intelligence framing holds that AI’s value in a collaborative workspace lies less in generating content on request than in making a team’s accumulated context available to everyone in it — summarizing, clustering, and surfacing what a group has already worked out, so the collective output exceeds what the individuals would produce separately. He leads product and technology strategy for that direction, and speaks on it at events including TechCrunch All Stage.
