Summary
Jóhann Hannesson is a Group Product Manager based in Portland with 13 years of experience scaling B2B and B2B2C SaaS products across productivity, marketing, and communications. He blends hands-on engineering roots with product leadership, having led augmented reality, virtual expert, and streaming data platforms that supported north of $100M/year in revenue. Jóhann excels at building empathetic, data-informed product teams and has repeatedly navigated post-acquisition integrations and platform rollouts. His background spans roles from QA and web development to head of engineering, giving him a practical appreciation for both code and customer outcomes.
