Top SchoolKenny Johnston is a product and GTM leader with 11 years of experience scaling B2B SaaS and developer-focused platforms from early growth to enterprise-scale ARR, currently serving as Chief Product Officer at Luciq where he’s driven agentic AI observability and consistent +50% enterprise ARR growth. He combines deep technical roots in engineering and cloud with hands-on product, pricing and portfolio strategy—specializing in seat/usage/consumption/outcome-based models and developer/enterprise product experiences. Kenny has led cross-functional global teams at startups and at scale (GitLab, Rackspace), shipping security, CI/CD, observability and mobile-first AI features while managing executive and board-level communication. An active angel investor and advisor to 15+ YC-linked startups, he brings founder empathy and a track record of transforming free-to-paid motions and tripling enterprise ARR.
