Bradford Church ’08 - President and Chief Product Officer, Village Labs
After graduating from FCDS in 2008, Bradford earned his bachelor’s degree in English literature with a minor in managerial studies: corporate strategy from Vanderbilt University. After working at Accenture as a Data Analyst under the U.S. Department of Education, Bradford joined Uber in Washington, D.C. when it was still, in his words, a “semi-illegal taxi company”. He helped build Uber Pool and Uber Bus and focused on creating products for emerging markets, which allowed him to travel to countries including Ukraine, Egypt, Mexico, and India.
Bradford left Uber for four months to pursue his lifelong dream of writing a science fiction novel but returned to work when COVID hit. He joined a tech start-up, The Routing Company, where he led the product and engineering teams. With a fellow Uber alum, Bradford founded Village Labs, an AI start-up, where he is currently the President and Chief Product Officer.
Bradford and his wife Jess live in Atlanta with their two children, aged 2 and 3.
