Our History
Founders Jon Garrity and Dr. William Vega-Brown have deep combined experience in industrial systems and artificial intelligence. After graduating from MIT, Jon went to work in analytics software at GE Energy and Will went on to complete his Ph.D. at MIT’s Computer Science & Artificial Intelligence Laboratory. After speaking together about advances in machine learning and cloud computing, the two realized capabilities only available to highly capital intensive assets like gas turbines could be economical for nearly any industrial asset. With this objective in sight, the company was incorporated at MIT.
Jon and Will assembled a team of Boston-based data scientists, engineers, and commercial leaders to deliver on the company’s vision. This team has since deployed machine learning applications for more than 60,000 assets across the globe.
Our Team
Our team is a collection of the best and brightest minds in engineering, computer and data science, operations, and business.
Founding Team
Jon holds a dual degree in physics and economics from MIT, and a MBA from Harvard Business School. He is responsible for defining product strategy, development, content, environment, delivery, and standards. With a background in industrial asset management, he recruited a team from the academic ML community, established relationships and customer agreements with Fortune 500 companies and multinationals, and organized equity financing of over $9M for the business. He is a board member of Greentown Labs, an incubator for climatetech entrepreneurs.
Will built the Tagup engineering team and has brought multiple ML products to market, providing decision support to operations teams managing hundreds of millions of dollars in annual revenue. Before Tagup, he studied artificial intelligence at MIT, publishing research at the intersection of motion planning, machine learning, and complexity theory and developing algorithms that enable automated systems to find high-quality solutions to complicated tasks. Will holds an undergraduate degree in physics and a PhD in mechanical engineering.
