Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolSamuel Vandamme is a product manager with 11 years of experience building developer-focused tooling and observability workflows from Ghent, Belgium. He led renewed development of Terraform, CLI, and developer tools at New Relic, helping major customers automate onboarding and installations while championing data-driven product decisions. As a hands-on former engineer he contributed to the popular newrelic/terraform-provider-newrelic repo, implementing workload support, test automation, and deprecation fixes—bridging DevOps and product roadmaps. His background spans pre-sales technical consulting, solution architecture, and running cross-functional programs like the New Relic I/O Marketplace end-to-end. Now at Aikido Security, he applies that blend of customer-facing technical fluency and strategic product leadership to security and observability challenges. He’s quietly technical—comfortable mapping low-level implementation trade-offs while steering high-level product vision.
