Summary
Petr Vacula is a Sr. Principal Product Manager based in Prague with nine years of experience blending deep mainframe engineering roots and product leadership in DevOps and workload automation. He has advanced from assembly-level mainframe development to owning complex testing and file/database management product suites at Broadcom/CA Technologies, shepherding tools like InterTest, SymDump and File Master Plus. Petr is skilled at translating low-level system behavior into pragmatic product features that improve debugging, test orchestration, and operational resilience for enterprise mainframes. He pairs Agile product ownership with hands-on technical understanding, enabling faster incident resolution and more reliable automation for legacy systems. A graduate in Computer Science from Palacký University, Petr brings both institutional knowledge of mainframe ecosystems and a track record of driving product strategy across long-lived enterprise software. Less obvious: his career arc—from assembly developer and support engineer to principal product leader—gives him rare empathy for both frontline operators and executive stakeholders.
