Top SchoolKay Dobesh is a senior product design leader with eight years in product-focused roles and a decade-plus background in visual and UX design, currently shaping Datadog's platform experiences from data visualization and monitoring to AI interfaces and design systems. She has progressed through hands-on design, team leadership, and director roles at Datadog, now leading cross-functional teams that deliver dashboards, querying, access workflows, cloud cost management, and more. Kay combines a storyteller’s curiosity about how people experience the world with pragmatic product craft, turning complex telemetry and cloud workflows into clearer, more usable interfaces. Her agency and startup roots—designing for clients like Fox, Nat Geo, and Ferrari—give her a polished visual sensibility that complements her enterprise product rigor. Based in Destin, Florida, she brings a rare mix of large-scale platform design experience and attention to human-centered detail. An organizer and team-builder off the clock (office run club founder), she’s equally invested in team culture as in polished product outcomes.
