Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolCooper Marcus is a seasoned product and platform leader with 11+ years of experience scaling developer ecosystems, APIs, and integrations across startups and large enterprises from San Francisco. He led New Relic’s API platform through 10x growth and an IPO, helped Kong launch and operationalize its Hub and docs (an active open-source docs contributor), and recently founded QuitCarbon to simplify clean-home energy upgrades for thousands of homeowners. Comfortable switching hats—from hands-on data science and geospatial ML at PG&E to interim GM roles driving revenue and marketing—he blends technical depth with commercial instinct. Known for reorganizing teams, introducing Agile at scale, and launching self-service platform flows, he excels at turning complex partner and product strategy into measurable growth. An unusual thread through his career is combining ecosystem-building with civic-minded data work, like wildfire risk modeling and energy decarbonization.
