Supreeth Rao is currently a distinguished engineer at Walmart.
Previously, he helped found Theom, Inc. During his tenure with Theom he helped build a data centric cloud security platform for enterprises. Prior to Theom, Supreeth worked at Cisco, Inc. and was one of the early engineers at Tetration Analytics. Supreeth joined Tetration from Yahoo!, and has also worked at Philips and Tektronix.
Supreeth worked in the field of distributed data computing and machine learning for many years and has developed multiple formative technologies. He has been an inventor all through his professional career with over 60 US patents and many more pending patent applications. He has contributed to the fields of Cyber Security, Display Advertising (Demand side platform), Search Advertising and Search analytics.
Supreeth believes data will dominate how our experiences and behaviors will be shaped. He is passionate about enabling businesses to harness the power of data in a secure way. When enterprises are in complete control of what data they have and how they are processing the data, they can build on data driven customer/business experiences securely. “Secure cloud” transforming to a “data driven secure cloud” is his current focus.
Supreeth holds a Master’s of Science in Computer Science from BITS Pilani, India and a Bachelors of Engineering in Computer Science from SJCE, Mysore, India. When not thinking about data security, Supreeth spends his time with family, books and classical music.
In 2015, Jim started discussing the concept of LLIF with his friend and now board member Dave Frampton and his son who suffered from migraines. Dave eventually left their shared employer to start a company FactorChain that offered early detection of IT related security events. Both agreed were harder to identify than human ailments because there was little to no feedback for security events. At least with people, you can record symptoms.
In April 2018, Jim incorporated the Live Learn Innovate Foundation. In June 2018, he applied for our 501c3 status with the help of Raleigh nonprofit attorney Gerry Hancock. Our 501c3 was approved by the IRS in December 2018 and Jim made our first donation.

In reality, what makes one team effective while others are not is a bit more complex.
We know our talented team is one of the more effective kinds.
