Bio
Co-Founder and Chief Experience Officer Alina Vandenberghe created Chili Piper, the most advanced scheduling and routing software for B2B revenue teams. Co-founded with her husband Nicolas in 2016, Chili Piper boosts buyer engagement for companies like Spotify, Airbnb, Twilio, Shopify, and many more through its meeting lifecycle automation. The born-entrepreneur started her first company before high school -- before she even knew what entrepreneurism was. After building mobile products used by millions in varied industries like media at Reuters, finance at Bloomberg, and education at Pearson, Alina decided to take her product management talents to B2B software solutions. Today, the Romania native and her husband helm not one but two SaaS startups, having also founded KosmoTime, which is leveraging the power of AI to re-invent the future of productivity. Alina earned a Master’s Degree in Computer Science from the Polytechnic University in Bucharest, Romania. She currently resides in New York City.
