Jesse Gibbs is a seasoned product leader based in San Francisco with two decades of experience building and scaling enterprise B2B products across observability, CI/CD, and SaaS. Currently a Group Product Manager at Datadog, he previously served as the founding product hire and Head of Product at multiple startups, shaping vision, roadmaps, and go-to-market motions that drove significant revenue growth. He has a strong track record of turning early-stage product practices into repeatable processes—introducing PM best practices, pricing and packaging changes that materially increased revenue, and building cross-functional product teams. Jesse combines technical roots (BS in Computer Science) with strategic business training (MBA, Haas) to bridge engineering, design, and GTM effectively. He’s comfortable scaling from hands-on feature definition to executive-level strategy and has repeatedly been the first product hire to professionalize product orgs. An operator who thinks like a builder, he’s known for pragmatic decisions that balance customer value, technical constraints, and growth.
