Summary
Drew West is a product-focused software leader and entrepreneur with 12 years of experience blending product management, hands-on technical delivery, and SMB-scale operations. He has launched and scaled physical products and services—from a $150k/year Vitamix accessory business to short-term housing for 2,000+ travelers—while leading product teams to cut release delays, shrink bug backlogs, and introduce analytics-driven decision making. At startups and growth-stage companies he’s driven cross-functional alignment across engineering, sales, and customer success, transitioned teams to iterative workflows, and instrumented 100% of features to reveal development waste. Now at Zentrik he’s focused on how AI can retool product operating models for faster time-to-money, combining a practitioner’s empathy for customers with an entrepreneur’s bias for results. A Dev Bootcamp graduate with a BS in Economics, he brings a rare mix of commercial rigor, supply-chain resilience, and product research discipline to platform and growth initiatives.
