Senior Product Manager at Dropbox
Denver, Colorado, United States
Summary
🎓
Top SchoolNick Kazakov is a Senior Product Manager in Denver with 8+ years of experience driving product strategy and shipping revenue-generating solutions across SaaS and oil & gas domains. He has a track record of leading cross-functional teams to launch high-impact products—from a Global Field Planner that generated $2.25M+ in year-one revenue to a Gen AI Assist that produced $720K in three months. At Design Pickle he architected operational systems (a leave-management tool saving $325K/year) and integrations that lifted transactions and reduced churn, and he now brings that scale-up experience to Dropbox. Originally trained as a petroleum engineer (BS and MS from Colorado School of Mines), he pairs deep analytical rigor with hands-on engineering, having built APIs and integrated large image asset catalogs. Colleagues rely on him to translate complex technical tradeoffs into clear roadmaps and measurable business outcomes. He combines domain breadth—from reservoir simulation to payments and annotation platforms—with a knack for turning technical work into immediate commercial impact.
