Raj Lahoti
Chief Guru
Chairman and Co-Founder
Raj is not your typical leader. He chooses to work remotely from all over the globe over working in a single office; and he much prefers collaboration and creativity to single-handed efforts and close-mindedness. Part of a new generation of executives, Raj contributes to a greater movement that is changing the way we do business.
At OG HQ, Raj acts as the head of sales, marketing and product. He most enjoys buzzwords, initiatives that end in “strategy,” roadmaps and derailing problems before they get unruly. When he’s not pinging the team with new ideas and revelations, you can find him meditating on the bigger picture.
Karen Baumbach
Chief Operating Officer
Finance-and-operations is this lady’s gig. Although she holds no formal training in performing surgery as her actual title might suggest, Karen has a steady hand with which she eloquently keeps the crew on target. She’s nearly impossible to disagree with, she’s frightfully sensible and positive, and if you stare at her too long you’re likely to start nodding your head yes.
David Gray
Director, Engineering & Technology
David doesn’t believe in obstacles. He prefers going big over going long, getting busy over getting by. David oversees content- and product development initiatives as an expert in kicking butt, and he has an ear for keeping the team in tune and *NSYNC. He’s most revered for driving a white ’83 VW bus, building cool stuff with his dream team of incandescent developers and enhancing the Guide to Guruball with Rule #6:
"If an opposing team member spikes the ball onto your side and you catch “that lame trash,” with one or two hands that player must sit
out one point."
