Michael Winters is a staff product manager at DeepL with a decade-plus career bridging developer marketing, product, and technical product management across startups and scaleups. He specializes in APIs and developer-first products—having led the DeepL API roadmap through multiple promotions—and previously helped bring enterprise and open-source data and streaming products to market at companies like Ververica and Camunda. Comfortable in both growth-stage scrappiness (first marketer at Garden) and structured product orgs (Google, Branch), he combines hands-on technical fluency with strong go-to-market instincts. Based in Berlin after years in San Francisco, he pairs an urban mobility passion (avid runner and cyclist) with formal training in data science and climate risk analytics, which informs a pragmatic, metrics-driven approach to product decisions.
