Patrick Woods is a growth and ecosystem leader who builds systems that turn technical products into measurable developer adoption, currently focused on publisher success for API-first companies. He co-founded and scaled Orbit—acquired by Postman—where he led product, GTM, fundraising (~$20M), and helped create the category of community-led growth. At Postman he designed the Publisher Success function and Verified Publisher program, translating documentation, onboarding, and trust signals into repeatable activation and expansion outcomes. Earlier roles at Keen IO, Figure Eight, and agency work honed his skills in retention, expansion, brand strategy, and data-driven customer success across self-serve and enterprise segments. He’s the author of The Brand Strategy Canvas and enjoys connecting product, narrative, and distribution into durable network advantage. Based in San Francisco, he combines operator instincts with a bias for systems thinking and a side interest in fencing and writing.
