Mustafa Furniturewala
Chief Technology Officer @ Coursera
Mustafa Furniturewala is the Chief Technology Officer at Coursera, where he has spent more than eleven years and now leads product and technology strategy across engineering, infrastructure, data, security, and IT. He is spearheading Coursera's generative AI strategy, both in the products Coursera builds for learners and in how the engineering team itself works, from agentic code migration to background agents to an MCP gateway for secure data access. Before Coursera, he held engineering roles at Twitter, Evernote, and Citrix.
Jiquan Ngiam
Co-Founder & CEO @ Mint MCP
Jiquan Ngiam is the co-founder and CEO of Mint MCP, an MCP gateway that gives enterprises secure, governed data access for AI agents. Before Mint MCP, he worked on Google Brain and Waymo, and did his graduate work under Andrew Ng at Stanford, where he contributed to early deep learning research and helped build the first online machine learning courses that became Coursera. His thesis is that as agents become coworkers, enterprises need a security boundary around what they can access, and Mint MCP provides that layer.
