Valentina Ratner

Co-Founder & CEO

Valentina Ratner is Co-Founder and CEO of Allspice, the platform hardware engineering teams use to collaborate, automate, and supercharge their workflows. Before launching Allspice out of graduate school, she was a product manager at Amazon, leading infrastructure projects and internal productivity tools.

Valentina holds a B.S. in Mechanical Engineering from Boston University, plus an M.S. in Engineering (Computer Science) and an MBA from Harvard, where she met Co-Founder Kyle Dumont in the first class of the joint MS/MBA program. Born and raised in Argentina, she now lives in San Francisco with her husband and their miniature schnauzer, Fritz.

In an ideal world, hardware engineers would spend all their time on creative design: no barriers to finding information, no communication gaps, no time lost to manual design checks. Allspice lets engineers work in that world, so they can focus on building amazing new hardware.”
