Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolDavid Gardner is a Senior Technical Product Manager with 18+ years building cloud-native SaaS and PaaS products and an 11-year hands-on track record in product and engineering leadership. He has led large DevSecOps transformations and launched platforms—Kubernetes-as-a-Service, cloud marketplaces, and CI/CD toolchains—that scaled to hundreds of teams and thousands of clusters while cutting vulnerabilities and delivery costs. Comfortable toggling between strategy and execution, he combines MBA-level product and go-to-market acumen with full-stack engineering skills (Python, NodeJS, Docker, Kubernetes) to drive measurable revenue and operational improvements. As a fractional CPO he delivered double-digit incremental revenue and sharply improved customer support metrics, and at Lumen taught thousands of developers modern SDLC practices. He’s known for blending developer experience, security, and observability into platform roadmaps that accelerate adoption and reduce risk.
