Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolBrendan Irvine-broque is a senior product leader at Cloudflare with nine years of cross-functional experience bridging engineering, design, growth, and management. He has progressed rapidly through product leadership roles at Cloudflare after earlier engineering and management stints at Intercom and VSCO, and brings founder grit from running an independent record label and music business. A generalist who ships, Brendan combines hands-on technical skills—demonstrated by open-source contributions to CircuitPython, RF24, and tooling like breathe—with strategic product vision for developer and consumer-facing platforms. His linguistics background and international upbringing inform a knack for translating between domains and aligning diverse stakeholders behind a shared future. Comfortable in both low-level embedded IoT contexts and large-scale cloud product strategy, he prioritizes clear documentation and developer experience. Based in the Bay Area, he pairs technical depth with entrepreneurial curiosity and an uncommon history in vinyl commerce and DIY electronics.
