Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolDaniel Braz is a seasoned technology executive and product leader with 8+ years in senior roles and a long track record of hands-on engineering dating back to the late 1990s. Currently CTO/CPO leading BRQ's Product & Experience Studios and CTO at bud/WEME, he builds end-to-end digital product studios combining platform engineering, AI/data platforms and clear business KPIs to drive measurable impact. He has repeatedly designed operating models—OKRs, pricing, governance, KPIs like NPS/WAU and reuse platforms—that balance predictability with innovation and scale. Equally comfortable in code (Java, Ruby, Python) and boardrooms, he creates ecosystems through platform thinking, developer portals and partner strategies to generate network effects. A practitioner of fast iteration, TDD/BDD and continuous delivery, he blends strategy, systems thinking and people leadership—“leading as a gardener”—to cultivate A-player squads and cross-functional guilds. Outside the obvious, he’s built specialized productivity platforms (e.g., Backpack for AI agents) to amplify PM/PO, research and engineering teams.
