Summary
Robbie Coomber is a seasoned engineering leader with 12 years of experience building and scaling analytics and consumer-facing products, currently leading the Analytics Platform team at PostHog in London. He went 0-to-1 as PostHog’s former CTO on their web analytics product now widely used by startups (notably many YC companies), and has since shifted to platform-level responsibilities. A founder and ex-CTO of Blueheart, he combines hands-on systems engineering, product intuition, and fundraising experience from early-stage VC rounds. His background spans embedded systems, media codecs and iOS apps at StarLeaf through to MedTech and full-stack consultancy work, reflecting unusual depth across low-level C/assembly up to Python and JavaScript. Known for shipping pragmatic, production-grade solutions, he brings an engineer-first leadership style that balances technical craft with product impact.
