A native New Yorker with a career built at the intersection of culture and technology, Jay’s fingerprint is on some of the most foundational tech products of the last two decades. From the early days of Hulu to a decade-long tenure helping scale Spotify from a startup to a global powerhouse, and most recently leading AI-driven commerce systems at Amazon, Jay has a proven track record of finding the next before it becomes the now.

Now, he’s moved to London to lead the next phase of the Multiverse product journey. We sat down with him on his first day to talk about his bet on the future of AI, the cultural discipline of dogfooding, and the lessons in timing he’s carried from Spotify and Amazon to Multiverse.

Press release.

As you start this new chapter at Multiverse, what’s one cultural ritual you’re excited to establish to ensure we keep building at the highest possible standard?

Dogfooding.

We should never subject customers to an experience we would not subject ourselves to. If we are lifelong learners, we should be taking the courses we offer and using the products we build as real customers do.

If something frustrates us, confuses us, or feels harder than it should be, we fix it. And we fix it quickly.

We are only as good as the product we put into the world. There is no such thing as a great team building a bad product. And there are no great products that emerge by accident from teams that are not deeply invested in the experience.

To be truly customer obsessed, we have to live with our products every day. We should feel embarrassed when they fall short and genuinely proud when they delight.

That discipline is how high standards become a habit.

Every great CPO leaves a fingerprint on the team they lead. When you look back two years from now, what would you like Multiverse to be known for in the tech community?

I’d like Multiverse to be known as the company that took a different bet.

While much of the tech industry is focused on humans making machines smarter, Multiverse focused on building machines that make humans smarter.

I’d want us to be known for proving that AI can strengthen judgment, accelerate learning, and expand human capability in real work, not just automate tasks or generate outputs. For building systems that people trust because they genuinely make them better at what they do.

If the tech community looks at Multiverse and sees a company that chose depth over hype, capability over convenience, and long-term human impact over short-term efficiency, that’s a fingerprint worth leaving.

That reputation would matter more to me than any single product or feature.

Describe your career in your own words.

I’d describe my career as a long arc of building at the edge of what’s next, and learning a lot about timing along the way.

I’ve always been drawn to inflection points. Moments when technology shifts behavior, but the path forward isn’t obvious yet. I tend to spot those trends early and lean into them, even when the outcomes aren’t guaranteed.

Sometimes that meant being too early. Early in my career, I worked on one of the very first consumer mobile apps built for the Palm Pilot pre-smartphone era. The idea was right, but the world wasn’t ready. The devices needed cellular connectivity, a real app ecosystem, and infrastructure that simply didn’t exist yet. That experience taught me an important lesson: innovation isn’t just about seeing the future, it’s about understanding what needs to be true for it to arrive.

Other times, it meant being early but patient. I was part of the launch of Hulu, one of the first major video streaming platforms. While the direction was obvious, mainstream adoption took years to develop. Consumer behavior had to catch up and the industry needed time to recalibrate.

At Spotify, the timing was different. The world was ready after Napster. People clearly wanted on-demand access to music. But the business model didn’t exist yet. That challenge required innovation across product, monetization, creator economics, and licensing. It wasn’t just about building a great experience, it was about inventing a system that could sustain it.

More recently at Amazon, I’ve been working exclusively on AI products since the moment ChatGPT launched in November 2022. What immediately stood out to me was not just the capability of the technology, but the speed at which it would reshape work itself. That recognition has driven my focus ever since: not just on what AI can do, but on how it changes skills, roles, and expectations.

Looking back, the common thread is a deep curiosity about where things are going, a willingness to act early, and a growing appreciation for timing, execution, and systems that can turn breakthrough ideas into lasting impact.

What’s your fun fact!

The first time I ever went skiing was in college, and I did it in the least sensible way possible.

I had never skied before. I’d never taken a lesson. I joined the ski club anyway, bought second-hand boots and skis that were far too long, wore jeans, a thin shell jacket, no helmet, and went out on opening night.

It was about -29°C, after dark, and the only trail open on the mountain was a double black diamond.

It took me nearly two hours to get down. Every crash meant my skis and poles were scattered somewhere uphill, so I had to hike back up to collect them before continuing. When I finally made it to the bottom, exhausted and frozen, I got back on the lift and went again.

I’m not sure what that says about me, or how “fun” the fact really is, but it’s one of those stories people tend to remember.

Jay’s arrival marks a new chapter for our Product and Engineering teams, one defined by high standards and a relentless focus on human-centric AI.

Team Multiverse

Multiverse, the upskilling platform for AI and tech adoption, today announced the appointment of Jay Richman as Chief Product Officer. Richman, a veteran product leader who most recently led the development of agentic AI systems at Amazon, is relocating from New York to London to take on the role.

As Chief Product Officer, Richman will oversee the continued growth and development of Multiverse’s technology platform. The Multiverse platform has enabled more than 30,000 learners across 1,500 customers to close their skills gaps through an end-to-end solution that unlocks productivity through a mixture of human expertise and a Socratic AI coach, Atlas. Atlas has more than tripled its daily active users in the last year.

Richman joins Multiverse as the next step in a career that has seen him build products at the centre of emerging technology movements multiple times over. He worked on the launch of Hulu, one of the first major streaming platforms, before spending a decade at Spotify, where he was instrumental in scaling the company’s advertising, subscription and podcasting businesses. After helping ready the company to go public, he moved to Amazon, where he focused on building AI-driven systems that create and optimise content through generative and agentic AI.

“Multiverse feels like the right company, in the right place, at the right time,” said Jay Richman, Chief Product Officer at Multiverse. “While much of the tech industry is focused on humans making machines smarter, Multiverse is taking a different bet: building machines that make humans smarter. Central to this is building a great product experience that customers want to keep coming back to, which will help us to scale this mission globally.”

His move to London comes at a time of heightened global competition for tech talent, and demonstrates the draw of the UK capital as a place for companies to scale.

On his move to the UK, Richman added: “As a native New Yorker, I don’t say this lightly, but London genuinely feels like a city on the upswing. The talent density is remarkable and it has become a place where people from all over the world come not just to work, but to build.”

Euan Blair, CEO and Founder of Multiverse, said: "Jay has built technology platforms that reshape how people interact with media, commerce, and content, driving meaningful shifts in behaviour at scale. As we expand our efforts to equip as many people as possible with the skills to seize the opportunities of technology, Jay’s experience building enterprise-grade AI systems deployed globally will be vital. He shares our conviction that AI’s greatest value lies in expanding human capability and judgment, rather than just driving short-term efficiency."

The appointment follows Multiverse surpassing $100 million in revenue in the last financial year, with net revenue retention also now above 120%. The company recently expanded into Germany, with an ambition to upskill 100,000 German workers to help close the widening digital skills gap.

Multiverse has trained more than 30,000 apprentices from customers including Babcock, John Lewis Partners and KPMG in AI, data and digital skills since 2016.

The Future is… Built in a Week: Inside Multiverse’s Latest Hackathon

The Future is… Built in a Week: Inside Multiverse’s Latest Hackathon
Life at Multiverse
Jafar Soltani, Senior Director of Engineering

That’s why, at the start of last quarter, we decided to put the roadmap "on ice" for one week. We paused our standard tickets for our bi-annual Hackathon, inviting everyone across the Tech org, including Engineers, Product Managers, Designers, Security, Data Privacy, and IT to come together and build something new and innovative.

The theme? "The Future is..."

To get into the right headspace, we left our usual desks and set up shop at a dedicated space external to our Paddington office. Tool-wise, we used Backstage, our internal developer portal, in addition to the SkillExchange plugin to crowdsource ideas.

The result? 25 distinct pitches

On the Thursday before the event, idea owners pitched to the group, rallying teams around their vision. We then kicked off Monday with our VP of Engineering, Helen who set the goals for the week. But we didn't just want to code; we wanted to learn. We invited guest speakers from Tessl to discuss evaluating AI agents, and Cursor to share best practices on leveraging AI for product and engineering workflows.

With teams formed and skills matched, the middle of the week was dedicated to deep work. The energy was electric. Teams mixed seniority and discipline; mid-level developers leading discussions and Product Managers getting hands-on with the code.

image from the hackathon

We saw a massive surge in AI adoption and Developer Experience tooling, balanced with a strong focus on directly improving the experience for our customers and learners, here are some examples:

  • Learner experience: Many projects focused on improving the learner experience, such as linking learning directly to a learner’s project problems, personalising content for greater relevance, and designing gamified journeys that reward progress to drive daily engagement.
  • AI agents and knowledge capture: One team designed a multi-agent system to automate support ticket research. Another team built bots to reduce repetitive Slack questions. Two groups tackled the challenge of retaining "tribal knowledge" by using Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG), unifying various scattered sources and transforming every GitHub PR and Linear Ticket into queryable institutional knowledge, not only improving developer experience but accelerating onboarding time for new joiners.
  • DevEx wins: Teams built tools to automate code changes across multiple repositories, and smart test-selectors that identify exactly which tests to run based on codebase changes.

Thursday was the finale. Every single team presented a strict, three-minute pitch to show what they built in just three days.

Our Founder and CEO, Euan Blair, joined senior leaders from our Tech and Customer Success organisations to judge the projects across three specific categories:

  1. Most Impactful: How significantly does this improve the experience for customers, learners, or employees?
  2. Most Innovative: Does this push boundaries? Does it use AI in a novel way?
  3. Most Likely to Ship: How feasible is this? Can we realistically implement it?

We also had a People's Choice Award, voted on live by all hackathon attendees.

The shining light of the week though, in addition to the seriously impressive work in just a couple of days, was the collaboration and team culture we saw. Seeing people who might not usually work together, the diversity of opinions, and watching mid-level devs step up to lead complex projects was the real win.

“What stood out most was the speed to prototype, curiosity, collaboration, and care our teams brought to every idea. Seeing everyone learn from each other, explore new possibilities, and have fun together reminded me why moments like this are so special!”

- Helen, VP of Engineering

We aren't letting these ideas gather dust. We have already reviewed these to decide how best to productionise them and officially add them to our roadmap.

Does this sound like the kind of engineering culture you want to be part of? We are actively hiring in Tech, see live roles here.

Mind the gap: Why your AI strategy might be leaving your team behind

Mind the gap: Why your AI strategy might be leaving your team behind
Employers
Team Multiverse

Instead of a level playing field, we’re seeing a widening AI adoption gap that threatens to leave a huge portion of the workforce in the digital dust.

The reality? Most companies are treating AI upskilling like a generic software update. But as the numbers show, a one-size-fits-all approach is a recipe for stagnation.

The Seniority Divide: Who’s Actually Using AI?

The most striking trend in our latest analysis is the massive disparity in daily AI usage based on job level. While 52% of mid-level workers collaborate with AI daily, only 21% of junior employees do. This 30-percentage-point gap presents a pipeline problem: If the next generation of talent isn't learning to work alongside AI today, we’re creating a future skills bottleneck.

The research also found a significant divide between those steering the ship and those doing the specialised, day-to-day tasks. Of middle managers, 48% are using AI regularly, while only 20% of individual contributors do the same. When nearly half of managers are leveraging AI but only a fifth of their direct reports are, the productivity gain of AI stays trapped at the top, rather than fueling the engine of the entire team.

While senior staff and middle management have leaned into the tech, junior employees and individual contributors are being left to figure it out on their own.

The Perception Gap: A 17-Point Reality Check

It’s not just that usage is uneven—it’s that leaders often don’t realise how uneven it is. There is a significant disconnect between what’s happening in the C-suite and what’s happening on the ground: 59% of leaders believe their teams are regularly engaging with AI, but in reality, only 42% of employees are doing so.

This 17-percentage-point perception gap suggests that while leaders are sold on the vision of an AI-powered workforce, they haven't yet provided the practical, job-specific pathways to get there.

The Solution: Training for the Real World

The bottom line is clear: One-size-fits-all upskilling benefits no one. You can't give a data analyst and a marketing coordinator the same prompt guide and expect magic to happen.

That’s why we’ve expanded our portfolio of AI programmes to make sure we can teach anyone, in any job, how to use AI to be more effective at work. To date, we’ve trained 1,220 unique job titles. Today, we’re taking that a step further by introducing:

  • AI Solutions Builder: Designed to develop agentic AI experts who design custom tools to boost productivity.
  • AI Transformation Architect: To train experts to orchestrate and scale automation across the entire enterprise.

Whether you're looking to empower a junior contributor or train a specialist to overhaul your entire workflow, the training must be as specific as the role itself.
