Max Moruzzi is founder and CEO of Xaba, a Toronto company building physics based AI foundation models for industrial robots and CNC machines. He has more than two decades in manufacturing technology, previously leading R&D at Augmenta on AI powered automation and holding senior engineering and software roles at Ingersoll Machine Tools and IMTA.
