Senior🎓
Top SchoolMichael Christofides is a founder and product-focused technology leader with a decade of experience building and scaling developer-focused businesses, currently running pgMustard — a niche, customer-driven product company focused on Postgres performance. He previously led product and customer success teams through rapid growth at Savanta and GoCardless, helping those companies scale from dozens to hundreds of employees while building cross-functional teams. Comfortable shifting between hands-on product strategy and team management, he has a strong analytical grounding from a first-class degree in mathematics and early roles at Red Gate that combined sales, strategy and product leadership. Known for prioritising long-term, sustainable product decisions and listening closely to customers, he brings both operational rigor and an engineer’s curiosity to performance-focused tooling. An amusing aside: he’s on a personal mission to get LinkedIn to introduce an appropriate reaction for puns, reflecting a playful streak beneath a results-oriented approach.
