Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolBree Thomas is a VP of Product and founder with 11+ years building SaaS and AI products across fintech, healthcare, insurance, and marketplace verticals. She has led product teams through turnarounds, platform rebuilds, and fundraising preparations—cutting ops burn 40% at Vangst while positioning the company for a $19M Series B and driving clinical adoption to 100% at MUVE Healthcare. As a co-founder at Balance she shipped an AI cash-flow forecasting feature from prototype to pilot and created an LLM evaluation framework to optimize model selection for variable-income workers. Bree blends hands-on engineering experience (Turing School alum, instructor, and test-suite contributor) with strategic GTM and OKR discipline, frequently aligning product roadmaps to revenue and retention metrics. Based in Denver, she’s equally comfortable shipping rapid MVP pivots in under 40 days and navigating complex regulatory or compliance requirements. Colleagues describe her as a pragmatic builder who makes robotics and AI projects fun while keeping measurable business impact front and center.
