Our Mission
We give AI the understanding it needs to become a trusted contributor to every business.
Our Principles
The principles behind everything we build
AI informs. People decide.
Human judgment remains at the center of every important decision.
Understanding before intelligence.
AI creates value only when it understands the business, not simply because it is intelligent.
Trust is designed.
Trusted AI requires context, identity, memory, and governance — not just powerful models.
Build for outcomes.
We measure success by business capability and measurable results, not AI adoption.
Human capability grows with AI.
We prepare organizations and people to thrive alongside AI, not compete with it.
Leadership
The people behind the firm
Christophe Kolb
Founder and CEO
Dr. Christophe Kolb is the founder and CEO of Taller, a global accelerator for digital transformation that brings AI and deep tech from incubation to large-scale deployment. He works with Fortune 500 companies and ambitious enterprises to build “centaur workforces”: hybrid teams of human specialists and AI agents that redefine how organizations create, deliver, and capture value. A longtime traveler across the frontiers of advanced technology—from neural networks and decentralized systems to quantum computing—Kolb holds a Ph.D. in Computation & Neural Systems from Caltech and a degree in Physics & Philosophy from Oxford. He is co-author of the national bestseller Cognitive Kin: How to Work, Win, and Make Meaning with Agentic AI.
Annie Rodriguez
Chief Operating Officer
Annie Rodriguez is Chief Operating Officer at Taller, where she has run the operational backbone of the firm since its inception. Before Taller, she built products at the edge of the early internet: leading product development at Epitonic, an independent music streaming platform, and managing incentive systems at Mypoints Cybergold, one of the first reward programs on the web. A product thinker by training and an operator by practice, she has spent more than two decades building the systems that let a frontier engineering firm deliver. Rodriguez holds a B.A. in English from the University of California, Berkeley.
Maximiliano Armesto
Chief Technology Officer
Maximiliano Armesto is Chief Technology Officer at Taller, where he architects the firm’s agentic systems, including Chiron and Echo. A researcher and practitioner with more than twelve years in applied AI, he has built and deployed production systems across industries and co-authored research in machine learning, systems engineering, and the science of how software teams work. He holds a Master’s degree from Universidad Nacional de Córdoba.
Jan Rosen
Chief Innovation and Transformation Officer
Jan Rosen is Chief Innovation and Transformation Officer at Taller, where he designs and deploys agentic AI architectures that change how organizations think, decide, and deliver. Before joining Taller, he led major engineering efforts at Venmo and PayPal, building the invisible machinery behind everyday payments and in-store experiences, and driving major platform modernization. A systems engineer by training and temperament, he moves easily from code to culture, helping enterprise leaders translate advanced strategy into running software. Rosen holds an M.Sc. in Computer Science from Chalmers University of Technology. He is co-author of the national bestseller Cognitive Kin: How to Work, Win, and Make Meaning with Agentic AI.
