About Lu Saenz

Veteran technology leader with a 25-year track record of building and scaling transformative products and organizations from zero to one and beyond. As Chief Technology Officer at Flock Freight, he joined as the company’s first employee and conceived, built, and led product and technology development that powered its evolution into a $350M-run-rate disruptor, pioneering the patented Shared Truckload model recognized by CNBC’s Disruptor 50 and TIME’s 100 Most Influential Companies. Luis has been involved in fundraising from seed through Series E, built high-performing technology teams, and delivered 10+ successful products. He also advises and invests in early-stage startups, helping founders translate vision into scalable strategies. I have spent my career at the intersection of technology, leadership, and high-growth startups, making bold ideas into scalable, industry-changing products and businesses. Over the past 25 years, I have served in key leadership roles to build and scale numerous products and startups—taking them from concept to MVP, initial traction, product-market fit, and ultimately scaling to become industry leaders. I work directly with founders and CEOs to translate vision into reality, defining and executing on the business, product, and technology strategies that enable long-term success. My leadership philosophy is centered on empowering teams, fostering a culture of excellence, and enabling focus with strategic clarity. The teams I led have delivered transformative technology and successful products and grown to become leaders themselves. I thrive in high-growth, high-impact environments where innovative technology solves real-world problems. I’m especially passionate about clean tech, leveraging technology to reduce waste, optimize processes, and create scalable and sustainable solutions.
