Anand Gaurav is a seasoned product leader with 18 years in technology and 13 years in product management, currently driving FinOps and AI strategy for AWS Commerce Platform in Seattle. He previously led geographically distributed product teams at Microsoft that served 12M+ developers across Visual Studio, .NET, and VS Code, and launched AI-enabled Copilot capabilities for .NET tooling. Anand bootstrapped and scaled critical developer tools—most notably growing NuGet.org from 50M to 10B downloads per month—and led modernization and replatforming initiatives such as Upgrade Assistant and Azure Migrate Code Assessment Tooling. He pairs an engineering background with an IIM Bangalore MBA in Marketing & Strategy, enabling cross-functional execution between product, engineering, and business stakeholders. Known for consolidating package and marketplace services into secure, high-performance platforms, he has a track record of turning developer pain points into widely adopted tooling. Less obvious: he blends hands-on technical ownership (SDKs, build tools, REST APIs) with strategic growth and security outcomes across large ecosystems.
