Zurich, Zurich, Switzerland
Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolRoman Blum is a product-focused technologist with 11+ years of experience who now shapes Mass Market Products strategy at Swisscom, bridging business goals and technical execution. He has a strong track record shipping high-quality iOS/tvOS products—reducing crash rates by 95%, delivering 100+ updates to 400k+ monthly users with zero major incidents, and co-developing Switzerland’s consumer AI assistant myAI with a privacy-first stance. Roman blends hands-on engineering (iOS/tvOS, AR eye-tracking research) with strategic product leadership and recent CAS training in general management, enabling him to translate complex technical constraints into executive-ready roadmaps. He’s equally comfortable prototyping cutting-edge features for Vision Pro and presenting to boards as he is mentoring small teams in agile/SAFe environments. Outside work he pursues rigorous personal disciplines—marathons and an advanced wine diploma—which reflect a temperament for endurance, attention to detail, and continuous learning.
