Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolDan Florea is a Senior Product Manager with 12 years in product and a 30-year engineering pedigree spanning embedded networking, cloud infrastructure, developer platforms, and observability. He blends hands-on engineering and management experience from Cisco embedded switching to launching VMware Integrated OpenStack and leading cloud and observability products at VMware, Tintri, Datadog, and now Google’s global network reliability efforts. Known for translating low-level networking and distributed systems trade-offs into scalable product strategy, he has repeatedly focused on reliability, automation, and developer productivity for large-scale platforms. An MBA from Wharton paired with an MS in Computer Science informs his ability to align technical roadmaps with business outcomes, and he’s comfortable engaging with customers, partners, and internal dev teams to drive migration and scalability initiatives. Not obvious from titles alone: he has deep experience shipping both embedded Layer 2 systems and cloud-native SaaS, giving him rare end-to-end perspective on infrastructure productization.
