Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolBrian Donohue is a product-focused engineering leader and founder with 12+ years building and scaling consumer products from code to C-suite. He spun Instapaper through acquisition by Pinterest, then led product engineering there and later grew DoorDash’s NYC engineering site to 150 engineers while driving nine-figure GMV growth for the merchant business. Equally comfortable shipping first lines of code and managing managers, he has a track record of reducing operational costs, relaunching paid products, and creating engineering practices that boost velocity and quality. He’s hands-on with mobile and backend systems and has repeatedly delivered fast, pragmatic launches (e.g., a 100-day feature build at Pinterest). Based in New York, he blends startup founder grit with large-company operational experience and a long-term ambition to serve as a technology executive at scale. A less obvious strength is his knack for cultural and process innovations—like no-meeting days and internal engineering blogs—that amplify team productivity.
