Summary
Jon Heywood is a product-focused engineering leader with four years of formal experience and a decade-plus background in web development and digital agencies, now serving as VP of Product at Warden Labs. He has progressed from hands-on PHP and web development roles to co-founding a startup and leading product strategy, blending technical execution with entrepreneurial instincts. Based in Italy, Jon has repeatedly moved between build and leadership roles—shipping web platforms at Qredo and leading agency teams—so he understands both client-driven delivery and product-market fit. Known for turning design-minded BA-level web design training into pragmatic product decisions, he brings a strong front-end-to-back-end perspective to product roadmaps. Colleagues would note his knack for stepping into new leadership roles quickly, often transitioning from lead developer to strategic product owner within the same organizations.
