Anuj Nijhawan is a founder and product leader with 15+ years building and scaling consumer-facing products across startups and major tech firms, most recently leading new search experiences at Google and co-founding Shuffle Collective. He blends full-stack engineering, product management and design expertise—having shipped features used by millions at ShareThis and reimagined discovery and reading experiences at Scribd. Comfortable in 0-to-1 environments, he has repeatedly acted as the first product hire or founder, launching MVPs, hiring teams, and turning creative concepts into operational products. Trained in both computer science and cinema, Anuj brings a filmmaker’s eye for narrative and user empathy to product design, a perspective evident in his award-winning short films. Based in San Francisco, he continues to oscillate between creative work and technical execution, now back to building new ventures from scratch. Unexpectedly, his background in improv and performance informs a collaborative, iterative leadership style that favors rapid prototyping and human-centered experimentation.
