Senior🎓
Top SchoolRoger Gonzalez is a founder and engineering executive with nine years of senior leadership experience building high-performing product and engineering organizations from startup to exit. Based in the San Francisco Bay Area, he has led cross-functional transformations at CreativeLive—driving subscription product launches, a unified data platform, and a 40% cloud-cost reduction while improving uptime and performance—and continued as CTO through acquisition and a planned sunset. He combines deep systems engineering roots (embedded, graphics, AI, and games) with product-first execution, repeatedly reorganizing teams for velocity, quality, and measurable business impact. Notable strengths include designing resilient internal PaaS and leading complex integrations and divestitures, plus hands-on experience launching consumer apps across iOS/tvOS and Roku. As a pragmatic builder now founding Version Zero, he blends technical craftsmanship with strategic operational playbooks for scaling and winding down platforms when needed.
