Senior🎓
Top SchoolRyan Spraetz is a platform-focused product leader with 14 years building developer-facing platforms and DSLs, currently leading Platform Product at Rippling from San Francisco. He has a rare blend of hands-on engineering roots (early career building Apex at Salesforce) and senior product leadership across startups and scale-ups, including co-founding Keen IO and running developer platform teams at Square and Zendesk.

As a venture partner and former VP-level product exec, he combines strategic go-to-market perspective with deep technical empathy for engineering teams. An understated strength is his experience moving between code and C-suite priorities, making complex platform tradeoffs tangible and executable.
