Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolShane Connelly is a product-focused technology leader with 11 years of experience building developer and enterprise platforms across search, API gateways, and generative AI. He founded ZeroQuarry to automate discovery of code security issues and currently serves as Chief Product Officer at SPREAD.ai after leading product at Vectara, where he helped bring trusted, explainable RAG-as-a-Service to enterprises. Previously he led Elasticsearch product teams at Elastic and runtimes products at Kong, blending deep technical knowledge with cross-functional product leadership. Shane’s background spans hands-on engineering roles and technical product ownership dating back to Autonomy and HP, giving him a strong foundation in search, analytics, and system architecture. Based in Berlin with roots in Australia and a BS in Electrical Engineering from Georgia Tech, he often operates at the intersection of research-grade tech and productization. Less obvious: he’s repeatedly bridged low-level engineering work and global product strategy, shrinking complex release cycles into shipping roadmaps for distributed teams.
