Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolMike Knapp is a product and technology leader with 16 years of experience bringing ambitious ideas to market, from inventing a now-iconic Gmail feature to co-founding Shoes of Prey, which scaled to a $27.5M raise and retail partnerships with Nordstrom. He blends hands-on engineering roots from early Google roles with serial entrepreneurship—founding Mottle and later co-founding Task Mate at Google, growing that team to 50 and launching in multiple countries. Currently a Lead Group Product Manager based in Sydney, he focuses on helping companies adopt AI and design inclusive products that embrace neurodivergence. Mike is equally comfortable shipping product strategy and building prototypes, having created AI-driven tools like a robotic journalist and semi-automated media channels. His background in both computer science and law gives him a pragmatic, systems-level perspective on product, policy and ethics.
