Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolAndrew Throener is a product leader and former engineer with 12 years of experience building and launching payments and checkout products at PayPal, currently directing product for Fastlane. He combines deep technical chops—years as a full-stack and integration engineer and open-source contributions like PayPal checkout components and MEAN.JS PayPal integration—with a data-driven product practice that emphasizes KPIs, A/B testing, and automation. At PayPal he led Fastlane from alpha to GA and scaled a product org to ten PMs while driving merchant onboarding across PSPs and commerce platforms. Comfortable in cross-functional roles, he frequently serves as the central alignment point between engineering, design, data science, commercial, and sales teams. Based in Omaha, he pairs hands-on implementation knowledge with strategic go-to-market execution and a knack for simplifying complex integrations for enterprise merchants. His background in both solutions engineering and developer-facing contributions gives him an uncommon ability to translate developer needs into market-ready payments products.
