Hannah Strauss

Hannah Strauss is Chief of Staff at Runway, the AI creative platform, where she is responsible for the operational systems that keep a fast-moving AI company coordinated across product, engineering, and go-to-market. She joined Runway when the company was 12 people and has scaled her operational function alongside the product through multiple rounds of growth.

Over the past year, Hannah and her team have built and deployed 12 AI-powered workflows across Runway's operations — from automated meeting summaries and decision logs to AI-assisted vendor evaluation and headcount planning. She tracks each workflow against a simple framework: time saved, adoption rate, and what breaks when the AI gets it wrong.

At BuildWithAI Summit, Hannah presents her full operator's AI playbook — 12 workflows ranked by impact, implementation difficulty, and real-world adoption. The session is designed as a shortlist for operators who want to know where to start, not a comprehensive overview of what's possible. You'll leave with three workflows you can build the following week.
