Professional Journey

Delgo’s first company was FareChase, a travel search business that he co-founded and led as CEO. Yahoo acquired it, the first of his two exits to large technology companies.

He then co-founded VideoSurf, based in San Mateo, California, and founded in 2006. Rather than relying on titles and tags, VideoSurf used computer vision to “see” the frames inside videos, making content easier to find. Microsoft acquired the company in November 2011 and folded its technology into the Xbox LIVE entertainment platform. At the time Delgo, as CEO and co-founder, said the teams shared “a mutual passion for creating amazing consumer experiences and reinventing how consumers search, discover and enjoy content on their televisions.” He stayed on at Microsoft as a Partner and GPM at Xbox.

In 2015 he co-founded Globality with Joel Hyatt. The company’s first SEC filing that April placed it in Redwood City and listed both founders as executive officers and directors. Globality’s platform applies AI to transform how large enterprises source and procure. Globality is now based in Palo Alto. Delgo leads product as Chief Product Officer, alongside Hyatt as Chairman and CEO and a separate President of Go-to-Market. His company biography also notes that he holds numerous technology patents.
