Summary
Derek Gransaull is a versatile technology leader and founder with over two decades of experience spanning telecommunications, network management software, and modern web development for SMBs. He built and scaled product teams at Cisco—growing a customer base from under 25 to over 200 and enabling $100Ms in equipment revenue—then reinvented himself as a hands-on consultant delivering full-stack, standards-compliant web applications using open source stacks and major cloud platforms. Equally comfortable setting product strategy and roadmaps or rolling up his sleeves on Node.js, MongoDB, and Linux deployments, he brings a disciplined, process-oriented approach that emphasizes quality and continuous improvement. Known as a consensus-builder and change agent, he has repeatedly led pioneering efforts across hardware-to-software and engineering-to-marketing transitions. Based in Hayward, CA, he combines big-picture judgment with practical operations experience to help organizations turn complex requirements into reliable, repeatable solutions.
