Senior🎓
Top SchoolCynthia Li is a Senior Product Manager with 11 years of experience building secure, scalable developer and logistics platforms, currently leading Prototype Security at Amazon in the San Francisco Bay Area. She has driven product strategy for high-impact security offerings at Splunk and led reverse logistics and warehouse management systems at Happy Returns by PayPal that processed millions of returns monthly. Cynthia combines deep technical roots—earlier roles as a senior software engineer and technical product owner at Yahoo where she scaled CI/CD platforms—with product leadership across mobile, NLP integrations, and enterprise security. She pairs an HCI-focused master's from the University of Michigan with practical project management training from UC Berkeley, enabling her to translate complex engineering challenges into user-centered, operational solutions.
