What drives us

Reliability First

We build for 99.99% uptime because we know what it feels like when systems go down at 3am.

AI with Guardrails

Autonomous operations with human oversight. Every AI action can be reviewed, approved, and audited.

Engineer Empathy

Built by on-call engineers who lived the pain. Every feature solves a real problem we experienced firsthand.

Dr. Samson Tanimawo
Dr. Samson Tanimawo
Founder and CEO

Founder and CEO of Nova AI Ops. Site Reliability Engineer with over a decade of experience across JPMorgan Chase and the United States Navy, where he led reliability work at enterprise scale.

Samson built Nova AI Ops to solve a problem he lived on every incident call: monitoring, logs, on-call, runbooks, communication, and ticketing fragmented across a half-dozen disconnected tools. The result is a multi-agent, AI-native reliability platform that unifies the full incident lifecycle (detect, correlate, investigate, remediate) behind one pane of glass.

His focus is compressing mean time to resolution through autonomous agents that absorb the repetitive work of incident response, so human engineers can spend their time on the decisions that actually need judgment.

Co-Founder and CMO

Co-Founder and Chief Marketing Officer at Nova AI Ops. Lashae leads positioning, messaging, and go-to-market strategy, translating deep technical capability into value that resonates with the customers it was built for.

Her work closes the gap most technical products fail to close: defining the ideal customer profile, running discovery to surface the highest-leverage pain points, and partnering with product and engineering to turn complex capability into clear business outcomes.

Outside Nova, she creates Pain to Profit, a series that breaks down how early-stage companies identify real user problems, position their products, and connect solutions to the right audience.
