After a decade-plus technical track record in pre-sales and systems engineering, he transitioned into product roles at Google leading GKE multi-cloud and AI infrastructure storage initiatives with strong YoY growth and large portfolio responsibility. He now applies that cloud-native product expertise to Mistral AI while running Hygge Apps, where he designs cellular IoT hardware, enclosures, and event-driven monitoring platforms. Comfortable at the intersection of sales, engineering, and GTM, Brian has a knack for turning field insights into product strategy and measurable growth.
