Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolJames Owen is a senior product leader and technologist with 25+ years of experience building and scaling enterprise SaaS and AI-first products across real estate, healthcare, and enterprise software. He has a track record of taking 0->1 and 1->n products to market—most recently driving AI-enabled accounting and BI product lines that delivered double-digit ARR growth and rapid customer adoption. Comfortable shifting between hands-on engineering and strategic product leadership, he has built platforms, led distributed development teams, and established company-wide product frameworks and promotion processes. James combines metrics-driven decision making and continuous discovery with a bias for action in ambiguous environments, repeatedly removing sales blockers and reducing churn. He’s equally entrepreneurial—co-founding a venture-backed startup that launched same-day delivery in the early 2000s—and practical, having personally shipped core platform features at Oracle and BEA. Based in Los Angeles, he pairs deep technical roots with customer-centric market instincts to drive measurable business outcomes.
