Senior🎓
Top SchoolConnor Gilbert is a Staff Product Manager and security product leader with 11 years building and scaling application and internet-exposure security products across government, startups, and large vendors. He moved from hands-on security research and engineering—helping launch Expanse from DARPA prototypes and contributing full-stack work at StackRox—to product leadership at GitLab where he grew SAST, Secret Detection, and AST scanner usage and led an acquisition. Based in Menlo Park with a Stanford CS background, he combines technical depth in static analysis, IaC scanning, and runtime/container security with a track record of turning research prototypes into commercial platforms. Notably, he’s shipped both low-level engineering changes (UI, backend, deployment) and multi-million-dollar programs for intelligence customers, and now hires and mentors PM teams to scale product impact.
