club life 4 under 40 Twin-ovation Stacey Engle wants to create your digital assistant Some people speculate that twins share a telepathic bond, that they can read each other's minds. For Stacey Engle, this myth is true … but it's by design, not nature. Stacey, a WAC member since 2018, is CEO of Twin Protocol, a global developer that engineers personalized generative artificial intelligence. Twin Protocol develops generative AI for big-name content creators, such as Deepak Chopra, to power a twin that contains their knowledge and insights and encapsulates their brand. "It all sounds very abstract, but that's what I love, making these ideas come to life," Stacey says. "AI increases productivity. It's a tool we can all use to make time for ourselves." Twin Protocol works across industries and around the globe, which is great for Stacey, who loves to travel. Another perk? When she can't be there in person, Stacey sends her very own AI twin to answer questions and share knowledge about the technology. As a WAC member, Stacey's life at the Club has changed through the past seven years—from working out with her then-boyfriend and now husband to dropping their kids off at WeeWACs. "It's a place to make connections, and it's changed with us through our life seasons," she says. Stacey's always looking for what's next, an important trait in her developing field. It's this ambition that drives Twin Pro- tocol and her own personal ethos. "Re-examine the rules and have the courage to make your own story," she says. "You can write your own future." PLUS ONE! WAC member Chris Picardo of Madrona Ventures also made this year's 40 Under 40 list. We missed Chris, a member since 2018, during our reporting. Learn more about him online at wac.net/40-under-40.
