Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolDmitry Sotnikov is an award-winning product executive and Chief Product Officer with 11 years of senior experience building cloud, security, and enterprise software products that scale. He has repeatedly led cloud transformations and integrations—helping double company size and revenue through nine acquisitions between 2021 and 2023—while implementing unified processes for release management, roadmap tracking, and real-time business reporting. Dmitry blends technical depth (platforms, APIs, developer tooling) with commercial instincts, having launched widely adopted freemium IDE plugins and creator-led communities that drove developer adoption of over a million users. He has a track record of raising analyst and market recognition (Gartner, Forrester, KuppingerCole) and of converting technical evangelism into tangible commercial wins. Comfortable in both startup and large-enterprise contexts, he pairs hands-on product strategy with operational rigor and a knack for building high-performing, cross-functional teams. A less obvious strength is his ability to convert content and community (e.g., apisecurity.io) into direct sales and acquisition outcomes, bridging marketing, product, and BD.
