Pavel Hardak is a Principal Product Manager and infrastructure-focused product leader with 20+ years of hands-on experience and 11 years in senior product roles, currently at Intuit after running a consulting practice for early-stage AI startups. He has repeatedly built platforms from 0 to scale—most recently leading SolarWinds Observability to 100+ customers and helping reverse company decline, and earlier growing Workday Prism Analytics to 1,000+ enterprise customers and over $200M ARR impact. Pavel blends deep technical chops (Spark, Kafka, Kubernetes, OpenTelemetry, Postgres/ClickHouse) with GTM and partner strategies, driving ML/GenAI experimentation into production features that improved resiliency and profitability by tens of millions. He has a track record of turning open-source and distributed systems work into commercial products and strategic partnerships across hyperscalers and Fortune-1000 customers. Fluent in both startup scrappy execution and large-enterprise program delivery, he frequently operates as a fractional PM for AI startups, advising on GenAI, ML, data platforms, SaaS and observability.
