Robert Vizza is a product and platform leader with 25+ years of experience building mission-critical systems that connect strategy, data, and human dynamics. Currently directing Strategic Workforce Planning at Nike, he designs platforms that translate business priorities into talent and capability decisions at enterprise scale. He’s led product organizations and replatforming efforts for massive user bases (50M+ monthly users at Capital One), delivered double-digit millions in year-one business value at GEICO, and forged market-shaping partnerships with Apple, Oracle, and others. Equally comfortable coding early-stage products (Ruby on Rails, C) and shaping executive strategy, he treats teams as the most important product—creating environments for autonomy and sustained performance. Based in Seattle and grounded by an MBA from Carnegie Mellon and a CS/math BS from UC Davis, he brings startup agility to complex enterprises to help them move faster and make better talent investments.
