Better Future for All in the Age of AI
Introducing my personal mission and newsletter so all of us can be more successful and joyful in the age of AI
As AI accelerates amazing abilities, many of us are concerned about what it means for our future. What will happen to our careers and livelihood? Our children and education? Our survival as a society?
I left my long-time career leading data science teams at LinkedIn in 2023. I was at LinkedIn for almost 12 years before I resigned. My new mission is to help people to thrive in the age of AI.

My Mission
Hi everyone! My name is Jimmy Wong. I’m here to help you navigate the challenges of the new AI-driven world and achieve success and joy.
Through my stories and newsletters, I will share with you my tips and personal experiences learned through my life and career. I was a LinkedIn data science leader for 12 years. I was an immigrant and first-generation college student who graduated from Stanford and UCLA. I am a parent of college-aged children now entering the workforce just as AI is accelerating changes in the marketplace.
I left my role at LinkedIn a few months ago in order to help people and businesses more directly as a coach, speaker, instructor, and entrepreneur. I’m here to help you.

What I Will Share With You
I want to share with you my best tips on careers, business, and life based on what I’ve learned from my real personal experiences:
- My education at UCLA and Stanford that combined rigorous technical engineering and entrepreneurial business disciplines
- My 27 years in the tech industry in Silicon Valley and beyond
- My 12 years leading data science teams at LinkedIn and seeing the rise of AI from an insider view of the professional social network
- As a parent of two wonderful sons, of which one recently graduated from UC Berkeley and the other is in his 3rd year at MIT
My goal in life is to help as many people as I can with the unique experiences that God has provided me. Here’s a sample of what I will share with you through my stories and newsletters:
- How can anyone gain confidence in leading people? I’ll share with you how I grew as a shy introvert engineer to confidently lead people, eventually resulting in me teaching classes in the UCLA business school and getting invited as a keynote speaker at corporate and industry events. Hint: Volunteer, embrace servant leadership, and mentor others
- How did Jimmy go from mechanical engineering to leading award-winning data science teams at LinkedIn? I’ll share with you my career transformations over 27 years from studying aerospace/mechanical engineering to eventually leading a 14-person data science team at LinkedIn to grow the multi-billion dollar social media ads monetization business. I’ll further share my story on why I left LinkedIn after about 12 years to continue as a coach and entrepreneur. Get my hard-earned lessons to help you with your own planned and unplanned career transitions.
- What will people need for future success in the age of AI? It’s natural to be concerned about your career and those of future generations as AI transforms the marketplace. I’ll share my best strategies and principles to thrive in any situation. I’ll share what my wife and I have learned about raising kids who got admitted and graduated from selective colleges (no, we’re not tiger parents!). I’ll share ways for people to transform with an entrepreneur mindset for a purpose-driven career in this age of AI.
Better Future Newsletter on LinkedIn
