Tim Spinks

Director of Technology — Engineering & AI Transformation

I've spent 12+ years directing engineering for Google, Jeff Koons, VIZIO, Webex, WHOOP, and Ocean Spray. Today I run engineering at Mondo Robot, leading one of the agency world's first org-wide shifts to agentic engineering — cutting MVP delivery from months to weeks without sacrificing quality.
