Senior🎓
Top SchoolMike Sparr is a seasoned technology leader and staff data engineer architect with 11 years in senior cloud, data, and startup roles, currently focused on genomics real-world data delivery at Natera. A Google Cloud Fellow and Google Developer Expert, he has repeatedly led large-scale cloud transformations, M&A integrations, and an IPO while growing teams and revenues across multiple continents. He founded and exited several startups, scaled platforms handling billions of documents and 100M daily events, and more recently built AI-driven consumer and SaaS products including an LLM-powered pet adoption app. Known for uniting engineering, sales, and product around repeatable GTM and technical frameworks, he drove $117M ARR-influencing engagements and a partner program generating $30M+ net ARR. Early hands-on experience—from programming on a Tandy TRS-80 at age 10 to graphic and web design in his teens—fuels his practical, builder-first approach to solving “unsolvable” problems. Based in Missoula, Montana, he balances technical leadership with hobbies like scuba, photography, fly fishing, and competitive shooting, reflecting a persistent curiosity that informs both strategy and execution.
