Senior🎓
Top SchoolMaria Popova is a Principal Product Manager based in San Francisco with a decade of experience designing privacy-first products and platforms that build trust around data, identity, and AI. She has led cross-functional efforts at LinkedIn to create consent management, improve privacy control discoverability, and steward trust in community features like Groups. Previously at Mozilla she launched privacy-centric browser features such as Enhanced Tracking Protection, and earlier work includes mobile product leadership at Charles Schwab. Maria combines rigorous technical grounding from an M.S. in Computer Science with a user-centered approach to policy-sensitive product design. Colleagues describe her strength as translating complex regulatory and technical constraints into clear, usable product experiences that scale. She often operates at the intersection of product, privacy, and engineering to make safety and transparency practical rather than theoretical.
