Top SchoolStefan Wrobel is a seasoned engineering leader and serial founder with 13 years of experience building and scaling product-led startups from MVP to profitable growth. He co-founded StackCommerce, scaling it to millions of impressions and predictable revenue before its acquisition, and has repeatedly operated as a hands-on CTO or interim technology leader to stabilize fast-growing teams. Stefan combines full-stack engineering chops (Rails/React) with strategic product and hiring processes, designing prioritization and delivery systems that reduce regressions and accelerate outcomes.

Off-hours he’s a restless traveler and outdoors enthusiast, bringing the same curiosity and energy to solving hard engineering and product challenges.
