About Amir Pirnia

Amir Pirnia is CTO at Stealth Startup. Location: Los Angeles, California, United States.

AI-first technology executive leading product, platform, and AI transformation across regulated, high-growth environments. Building scalable products, modern platforms, and intelligent systems that create durable business advantage. For more than 20 years, I have built and scaled technology organizations across HealthTech, InsurTech, and FinTech, from early-stage ventures to regulated enterprises. My work sits at the intersection of technology strategy, product strategy, AI transformation, and executive leadership. I help leadership teams identify where AI can create leverage, redesign systems and workflows around those opportunities, and build the foundation to execute responsibly. My approach goes beyond adding AI tools to existing processes. I help companies rethink how products are built, how teams operate, how decisions are made, and where intelligent systems can improve speed, scalability, and customer experience. Innovation must also be defensible. I help organizations move from experimentation to production with the governance, security, architecture, and compliance controls needed to manage risk across HIPAA, SOC2, HITRUST, CCPA, and AI requirements. AREAS OF EXPERTISE • AI strategy, transformation, and enterprise adoption • Generative AI, LLM, API, and agentic workflow implementation • AI agents, orchestration, MCP architecture, and intelligent automation • Technology strategy, modernization, and platform architecture • Engineering leadership, organizational design, and team topology • Product strategy across clinical, financial, and consumer systems • Cloud, security, compliance, and AI governance • Board and executive advisory I am particularly effective when companies need to define an AI roadmap, move initiatives from pilot to production, modernize fragmented platforms, scale engineering teams, align product and technology strategy, strengthen technical diligence and governance, or prepare for growth and investment.
