Summary
Bryan Gebhardt is a seasoned technical leader with 11+ years of experience building and scaling cloud, data, and consumer services across Microsoft, Apple, Walmart, and Motorola. As a Principal Product Manager at Microsoft he drives product operations for M365 growth while previously serving as Chief of Staff for a 250-person org where he instituted OKR rhythms, led a 200+ headcount budget, and supported hiring 80+ people in a year. He has a track record of delivering high-impact systems—shipping a data science platform on Kubernetes in six months, launching a retail Concierge app across Apple stores, and driving mobile features at Walmart that rapidly captured large revenue and order share. Skilled at recruiting and forming cross-functional teams, he’s built security, QA, and data teams that moved from zero to production quickly and cost-effectively. Bryan pairs hands-on engineering roots (UC Berkeley EECS) with strong operational rigor and stakeholder-facing experience supporting VPs and executive decision-making. An unexpected strength: he combines product ops and chief-of-staff discipline with deep delivery experience, making him effective at both strategy alignment and hands-on execution.
