Summary

Senior🎓
Top SchoolScott Werner is a seasoned software leader and founder with 15 years of experience building product and engineering organizations, currently leading Sublayer to create tooling and workflows that let generative AI handle implementation details. He previously co-founded and served as CTO of Sayspring, which was acquired by Adobe, and went on to senior engineering and management roles at Adobe where he scaled teams and technical systems. Scott combines hands-on full-stack engineering experience—from Ruby on Rails and Node.js to cloud deployments—with product-first thinking developed across startups and enterprise environments. He mentors early-stage founders as Alumni Lead Mentor at Entrepreneurs Roundtable Accelerator and is known for pairing with engineers regularly to share best practices like TDD and observability. Based in New York, he blends entrepreneurial grit with pragmatic execution, often translating ambiguous product goals into shipping, user-focused systems. A less obvious strength is his track record of taking ideas end-to-end—from Curvio’s launch and media traction to leading live-event commerce platforms—showing rare fluency across product, growth, and engineering.
