Global professional services firm Scrubbed has named applied AI leader Kendrick Geluz Kho as Chief AI Officer, reinforcing its focus on advancing practical, people-centered AI across the organization.

In this role, Kho will lead the company’s applied AI strategy spanning both service delivery and internal operations. His mandate includes identifying and implementing solutions that improve efficiency, strengthen financial accuracy, and enhance decision-making, while enabling professionals to focus more on complex client needs.

Kho brings more than a decade of experience across artificial intelligence, data science, and technology investing. He earned a master’s degree in Management Science and Engineering from Stanford University, where he concentrated on optimization and machine learning. He previously served as Head of Data Science at Hone Capital, developing machine learning approaches for venture investing, and later became a Partner at Global Founders Capital, contributing to investments in enterprise software and AI companies. He is also a General Partner at Fourth Realm, where he has been involved in investments in companies such as xAI, OpenAI, and Anthropic, and leads Hyperparameter, a venture firm focused on driving AI transformation across industries.

“AI presents an extraordinary opportunity to improve how financial work gets done, but the goal should always be to support the people doing that work,” said Kho. “At Scrubbed, we are focused on identifying practical applications that help our teams operate more effectively, reduce repetitive tasks, and spend more time delivering strategic insight to clients.”
