Riya Gayasen is a Principal Product Manager at Apple Cloud Infrastructure with a decade of experience building AI-driven products and developer ecosystems across fintech, cloud, and mobile. She blends hands-on engineering (Android/iOS developer) with strategic product leadership—having launched partner programs and developer portals that unlocked multimillion-dollar ARR and dramatically improved developer velocity. At PayPal she led Gen AI tooling and training that produced a $90M cost reduction and slashed onboarding time by 70%, and at Intuit she scaled partner experiences for hundreds of thousands of developers. Her background from IIT Bombay and MBA training at Stanford GSB underpin a data-informed, design-thinking approach to roadmap and UX decisions. Known for aligning cross-functional leaders and translating customer signals into business outcomes, she also has entrepreneurial roots where she raised seed investment and shipped consumer-facing mobile apps end-to-end. Not obvious at first glance: she repeatedly pairs product strategy with direct engineering contributions, accelerating delivery while mentoring large, distributed teams.
