Vetted Product Management Professionals

“Built and shipped a production LLM-powered recruiting workflow that ranks resumes against job descriptions, generates evidence-based justifications, and finds "hidden fit" candidates using embeddings + RAG. Demonstrates strong production engineering around hallucination control, latency, and predictable LLM cost management (budget checks, top-K pruning, tenant caps), plus orchestration experience with Airflow/Prefect/Kubernetes and a structured evaluation/monitoring methodology for AI agents.”

“Product/technology executive who has repeatedly built and scaled engineering organizations from early-stage startups to large enterprises (including Temenos with ~2,000 developers). Led major platform modernizations (monolith-to-microservices) to enable SaaS, resilience, and faster delivery, and launched an innovation hub to build proprietary neural-network biometric algorithms for a payments product enabling "wave of the hand" transactions.”

“Operations/finance-focused advisor with experience helping early-stage companies build lightweight but effective operating systems—monthly financial reporting, KPI frameworks tied to revenue levers, and forecasting cadences using tools like QuickBooks and Metabase. Has also implemented scalable request-prioritization (Jira) and guided founder/executive org design changes, including transitioning a founder to president while elevating an internal leader to CEO.”

“Operator who took a seed-funded university spin-off in cybersecurity from zero revenue and heavy losses to profitability and industry leadership, while building the full internal ops stack (HR/payroll/benefits/401k) and the initial GTM engine (Salesforce/HubSpot, SPIN + MEDPICC). Personally led fundraising across 30+ VC pitches, raising $11.2M total and delivering $98M returned to investors to date, with additional upside from a subsequent spin-off.”

“Operations leader/consultant for early-stage, VC-backed and fast-growth companies with hands-on experience spanning NetSuite finance ops, product prioritization, and People Ops/HR systems. Notably overhauled internal communications at a Bay Area home health company by centralizing to HIPAA-compliant Slack integrated with ClickUp, driving ~30% faster project completion and ~25% higher retention, using ADKAR-based change management and rigorous adoption tracking.”

“Engineering leader/CTO-type with deep experience building and scaling a vehicle routing platform at Transdev On Demand, including a nationwide rollout to 22 US airports ahead of schedule. Drove engineering best practices (CI/CD, high test coverage, pair programming, automated deployments) and led a multi-tenant architectural upgrade to expand the routing engine to additional business lines and external customers.”

“Cornell master’s student (CS/Stats) focused on research-heavy ML projects: implemented a sparsity-driven RL approach (DAPD + Soft Actor-Critic) that maintained stable learning even with ~95% of weights removed in OpenAI Gym continuous-control tasks. Also worked on diffusion-based computer vision with conditioning and latency-focused U-Net choices, and scaled unsupervised community detection on a 50k-node/800k-edge Reddit graph via BFS subgraph sampling.”

“Sourcing/procurement professional with end-to-end ownership of vendor selection, negotiation, and delivery for AI-enabled workflow automation products. Uses structured scorecards, SLA/KPI-driven supplier management, and dual-sourcing strategies to reduce risk—delivering measurable outcomes like 18% cost savings, OTD improvement from 82% to 96%, and 25% rework reduction while navigating data quality drift and trade/duty exposure.”

“Senior engineering leader from Goodyear’s AndGo startup-like division who scaled the org from 12 to 30+ across pod-based teams and introduced an Architect Guild/ARD governance model. Led a 4-month Europe launch requiring AWS regional infrastructure, GDPR compliance, i18n/l10n, and new EMEA reporting pipelines, and has hands-on depth in API performance, incident response, and GraphQL/Hasura adoption to boost product velocity.”

“Operations and manufacturing leader with experience acting as an internal CEO to build a new business inside IDEX Corp from a $15M budget, owning P&L and a 3-year plan through product launch. At Planet Innovation, used Lean/DMAIC-style value stream mapping to 4x production throughput (400 to ~1600 units/month), exceeding a customer’s 1200/month scaling target. Strong in building teams and operational systems (product development, quality, supply chain) and coaching non-ops founders using structured frameworks.”

“Operations/product leader with experience integrating product organizations after acquisitions, standardizing Agile/PDLC and RACI to remove ambiguity and enable on-time launches. Hands-on in implementing Jira-based execution frameworks and mentoring exec teams on KPI/OKR operating cadence, including adopting a Product/Engineering/UX triad model to reduce rework and improve customer alignment.”

“CTO-for-equity founder who partners with non-technical co-founders to bring AI-powered product ideas to market, emphasizing financial viability and go-to-market planning over "just an MVP." Currently working with two other founders (CEO/Sales and CPO/industry expert) to launch a SaaS platform, leveraging AI coding tools (Cursor/Windsurf) for extremely fast, production-ready iteration with daily releases.”

“Founder of ANTARI Studio who builds metrics-driven mobile game concepts and validates them through playable prototypes, publisher feedback, and real-market launches with platform partners. Has experience taking a niche casual puzzle opportunity from benchmarking and lean prototyping into production and launch, using engagement/retention/monetization KPIs to guide iteration and scaling decisions.”
