Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolJames Thompson is a Principal Product Manager based in San Francisco with 11 years of experience bridging product design, engineering, and operations at companies ranging from Palantir and Facebook to Snowflake and Streamlit. He combines deep systems thinking—rooted in an aerospace engineering background and an MS in Product Design from Stanford—with hands-on product leadership, shipping platforms for intelligence, safety, and large-scale data operations. As CEO of Clean Streets and a founder of earlier startups, he brings entrepreneurial grit and a knack for turning complex, emergent systems into human-centered experiences that "humanize data." His work is grounded in practical innovation (including multiple patents from his Palantir tenure) and a broader curiosity about the origin of the universe and how people interact with information.
