Top SchoolAlex Jansen is a Senior Product Manager based in Boulder with 14 years of experience blending hands-on engineering, UX, and product strategy to ship impactful consumer and enterprise software. He led major redesigns and collaboration strategy at Google that reached over a billion users and drove high sentiment scores, and later translated that scale experience to fast-growing fintech at Neat Capital and product leadership at Smartsheet. Alex has a rare mix of full-stack engineering chops from building mobile and IoT experiences at Nest and Street View to defining multi-team roadmaps and research programs that changed org strategy. He’s skilled at turning deep user research into measurable business outcomes—doubling loan volume and drastically cutting lead costs at Neat Capital, and shaving loan turn times by a third. Collected academic grounding in HCI from the University of Washington informs his pragmatic, design-forward approach to product decisions. Colleagues would call him a builder and tinkerer who thrives where product, design, and engineering meet.
