Turing's CTO since 1 Sep 2026. She spent 16 years at Microsoft Research and ended as Corporate VP leading the AI Frontiers Lab (AutoGen, Magentic-One agent work). She is the most research-credentialed hire in the expert-data vendors this year.

high confidenceAt Turing since 2026Updated 2026-09-19

Background

Her Harvard PhD in computer science (2010) was on human-AI collaboration and multi-agent systems. She holds a BS in CS & Engineering from Sabanci University.

At Microsoft Research for 16 years, she rose to CVP running the AI Frontiers Lab. She championed AutoGen, the open-source multi-agent framework, and work on generalist agents such as Magentic-One. Her recurring theme is human oversight and human-AI teaming.

What they run now

Leads Turing's technology and research strategy across both its frontier-AI (lab) and enterprise-AI divisions, including research into agent collaboration between AI systems and between AI and humans.

On the record

Research needs the real world · 2026-09

She says frontier AI research is no longer academic and needs real customers, users and builders: "AI research doesn't happen in an isolated academic community anymore." source

Human oversight of agents · 2024-12

Unless agents reach near-perfect performance, humans must stay in charge. She cited agents completing ~30-35% of tasks against ~85% for humans. source

Specialised agents · 2024-12

She expects more specialised models and agents rather than one agent with identical capabilities everywhere. source

Turing's vantage point · 2026-09

She sees Turing as sitting between the frontier labs and the enterprises struggling with AI transformation. source

🚀 Fara 1.5 is now on arXiv! 🚀 The report is a must read for anyone that wants to learn what it takes to build a SOTA computer use model. Fara 1.5 establishes a new state-of-the-art for its size, outperforming larger cloud models like OpenAI Operator and Gemini 2.5.

Why it matters here

Her human-AI collaboration and evaluation research background is the closest thing at Turing to thinking about human judgement as a signal. She will shape what data and evals Turing builds next. There is no evidence of creative-domain interest, so this is moderate relevance at best.

How to reach

On X as @ecekamar. She has an academic profile, so a research-framed question lands better than a sales pitch (speculation). Ask how she thinks about evaluating subjective or aesthetic quality in agent outputs.

What we could not establish
  • LinkedIn URL not confirmed in search results.
  • Exact start and end years of her Microsoft titles.
  • Location.
