Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolPhil Newman is an independent product leader with 11+ years of experience building and scaling platform-first products across developer tools, healthcare, and fintech, and over 15 years of cross-functional leadership. He has a track record of launching AI-enabled enterprise features—like an LLM coding assistant in Jupyter and a self-hosted AI vulnerability scanner—and growing ARR through pragmatic platform and cloud migrations. Phil built HIPAA- and FHIR-based healthcare platforms serving 500K users, led payments platform launches that scaled revenue from $1M to $1B, and founded Nike’s Social Center of Excellence, growing a social graph to 45M members. He combines hands-on product and engineering instincts (he shipped a consumer app solo using AI-assisted development) with deep compliance fluency across HIPAA, SOC2, and HITRUST. Comfortable from 0-to-1 through scale, he excels at forming PM teams, aligning cross-functional stakeholders, and designing systems that survive enterprise scrutiny. Phil is now seeking a product leadership role where he can own roadmap end-to-end, build a team, and shape long-term strategy for AI-enabled, regulated platforms.
