Harry Dubke

Harry Dubke is a repeat founder and applied AI engineer. He is the Founder & CTO of Suede Web Systems, the full-stack AI visibility and narrative-intelligence platform.

At Suede, Harry builds the systems that monitor what AI assistants like ChatGPT, Gemini, and Claude tell the audiences that matter — and give organizations the tools to shape their AI narrative. He founded the company in 2026 alongside co-founder & CEO Perry Griffith, working with national trade associations and teams across public affairs, campaigns, and advocacy, with expanding coverage of highly regulated industries, higher education, corporate relations, and personal brands for public figures.

Before Suede, Harry co-founded Cortado AI, where he built one of the first fully autonomous guest-messaging systems for short-term rental operators, handling millions of guest inquiries across three continents. Earlier, he scaled his first company to more than $500K in revenue in under 12 months and managed multi-million-dollar government grants promoting democracy in Latin America.

He is a self-taught AI and software engineer and holds a BA from Hamilton College, where he double-majored in World Politics and Hispanic Studies, with additional study at the London School of Economics and Universidad de Buenos Aires in Argentina.
