Top SchoolJoshua Sisskind is a Principal Product Manager with over 15 years in the geospatial domain, blending hands-on GIS and software engineering experience with program and product leadership. He has led large portfolios and teams—driving $750M+ contract wins and managing multi-million-dollar programs—while also shipping technical solutions that shrink time from data acquisition to exploitation. Equally comfortable in code and strategy, he has built web and desktop geospatial tools using JavaScript, Python, GDAL, and PostGIS and led open-source conflation work like Hootenanny. An educator and mentor, he teaches geospatial concepts at RIT and runs STEM outreach, reflecting a commitment to growing the next generation of GIS practitioners. He’s known for being a “chameleon” who translates complex stakeholder needs into executable roadmaps and practical engineering practices. Outside of program delivery, he brings systems-engineering rigor from an M.Eng. and a background in meteorology and remote sensing to ensure data accuracy and interoperability at scale.
