35 years of experience! (in dog years)

Five years ago in Paris, our friend Farida introduced us to a black lab from Normandy. Riva relocated to San Francisco and immediately became our best hire.

Riva runs a tight ship. Morning starts with breakfast, followed by a walk through Lower Haight for what we assume is competitive analysis.

Afternoons are for networking at dog school, strategic napping, and dinner.

Every time the door opens, Riva personally greets whoever walks in. Team, guests, delivery people, everyone gets the full welcome. She also took it upon herself to handle package opening.

After extensive testing, she determined the couch offers optimal comfort-to-productivity ratios.

Outside of work, she's mastered the art of staring directly into your eyes until you share your food.

If Riva could talk, we're pretty sure she'd say she loves the 14.ai team. Either that or "why did the treats run out?"
