Kevin Wang is Chief Product Officer at Braze and a product leader with eight years of experience who joined the company as one of its first ten employees and helped shape it from pre-product, pre-revenue days to a mature product organization. He has progressed through engineering and product leadership roles—running product management, UX, technical writing, frontend engineering, and even technical recruiting—giving him a rare cross-functional perspective on building customer-facing SaaS. Kevin blends hands-on engineering roots (including building mobile apps and a React Native rebuild at Brewgene) with strategic product vision, shipping features informed by operational realities. His background in computational cognitive science from MIT informs a data-driven, human-centered approach to product design and decision-making. Based in New York, he excels at translating complex technical trade-offs into clear product priorities and coherent narratives for teams and stakeholders.
