Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolDrew Gorton is a developer relations and developer experience leader with 13 years of experience building high-impact DevRel organizations for complex platforms. He has repeatedly scaled teams and systems—most recently growing Temporal’s DevRel from 2 to 16 and driving measurable onboarding and retention improvements—now rebuilding LaunchDarkly’s DevRel to position the company for the AI/runtime era. Drew excels in post‑product-market-fit environments where clarifying onboarding, instrumentation, and feedback loops turns technical power into trusted developer adoption. He blends hands-on program design (advocacy, education, docs, community) with product and GTM alignment, using developer metrics to inform sales scoring and fundraising narratives. A longtime founder and operator, he pairs empathy-driven team leadership with a knack for turning developer signal into strategic product decisions.
