Summary
Francisco Kattan is a product marketing and developer-platform leader with over a decade of experience scaling API- and developer-focused businesses and programs from startup to market leadership. He has repeatedly driven category disruption—helping Nexmo grow from $70M to $200M+, taking Appery.io to 300K developers, and leading Flash mobile adoption to a billion devices—by aligning product, go-to-market, and developer ecosystems. Currently Head of Builder Programs at Snowflake, he designs developer conferences, open source programs, and startup/ISV initiatives that turn platform capabilities into real customer and partner momentum. Bilingual and globally experienced across North America, Europe and Latin America, he blends strategic consulting (clients include Google and Dropbox) with hands-on product launches and partner programs. An unusual strength is translating technical platform APIs into business-focused developer use cases and partner motions that scale revenue and adoption. Outside work he’s an avid sailor and cyclist, a detail that surfaces in his iterative, expedition-style approach to program building.
