Summary
👤
SeniorLeon Gersing is a seasoned technology leader with 15+ years of experience building and scaling products across startups and enterprises, currently serving as VP of Technology at Kaplan where he founded Kaplan Labs, a Lean validation studio. He blends hands-on software craftsmanship with XP, Agile and Lean practices to shorten Time to Learn for new ventures and turn validated MVPs into scalable, customer-focused businesses. Previously he drove engineering and culture at Dev Bootcamp, contributed to GitHub’s core and Gist product, and led consulting engagements that grew a boutique firm into an acquisition-ready consultancy. Known for high-energy collaboration and a growth mindset, he pairs product intuition with real-time data-driven go-to-market strategies. An unexpected thread through his career is his founder mentality—shipping small, elegant solutions (he "tends binary zen gardens") while designing programs that nurture engineering talent and community.
