Roman Zubenko is a founder-led product and engineering leader with 13 years of experience building consumer and developer-facing products from first principles. He has repeatedly launched startups and new orgs—co-founding LiveGit, Nebo (a visual React builder for non-technical teammates), and now Afternoon—after starting his career as a software engineer and growth lead at Gusto. As a product manager at Notion and head of financial products at Gusto, he shipped mobile and cashout features that tied product strategy to everyday user needs. Roman blends hands-on engineering chops with product strategy and a bias for building tools that democratize creation, often tackling problems at the intersection of UX and developer experience. Based in New York, he brings an operator’s mentality informed by early entrepreneurial wins (including a booking site started in high school) and scaled product leadership across startups and high-growth teams.
