Summary
Karthik Ramachandran is a senior product leader with 13 years of experience building AI/ML platforms and launching 0-to-1 products that scale to enterprise-grade revenue. He led a 9-product GenAI and MLOps portfolio at Google Cloud, growing it 8x to a multihundred-million ARR and directing launches such as Colab Enterprise and Vertex Tuning used by tens of thousands of enterprises. At Primer AI he built PM, design, and ML engineering teams from scratch and helped secure a $40M Series B, demonstrating chops across hiring, fundraising support, and product-market fit. His background combines deep engineering roots—shipping developer-facing tools like Vertex SDKs and notebooks—with strategic product planning for regulated verticals (government, finance, retail). Now based in San Francisco and currently leading product at ServiceNow, he pairs hands-on technical fluency with a proven ability to translate research and developer tools into broad commercial platforms. A longtime systems engineer-turned-product exec, he often bridges the gap between low-level infrastructure and enterprise GTM in ways that accelerate adoption.
