Summary
Narayan Iyengar is a Principal Product Manager based in San Francisco with nine years of product leadership across cloud-native security, networking, and infrastructure. He has driven strategy and shipped features at companies including Palo Alto Networks (twice), HashiCorp, Chainguard, and Sysdig, blending hands-on prototyping (e.g., eBPF proofs-of-concept and containerized firewall demos) with go-to-market enablement. His background as a firmware and systems engineer at Cavium, Skyworks, and earlier semiconductor firms gives him deep technical fluency from silicon to cloud. Narayan excels at turning prototypes into product roadmaps and sales-enabling artifacts—white papers, deployment templates, and field automation—that accelerate adoption. He is comfortable at the intersection of product, engineering, and field teams, and often surfaces non-obvious requirements by prototyping creative deployments. Trained as a computer engineer at Virginia Tech, he combines low-level systems rigor with pragmatic product instincts.
