Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolWill Kessler is a seasoned product and engineering leader with 10+ years building and scaling teams and products across startups and high-growth companies in San Francisco. As a repeat co-founder and senior leader (most recently Co-Founder at Regulis AI and former Head of Product at Sydecar), he blends hands-on product design and 3D/UX interests with organizational craft to create high-performing engineering groups that preserve innovation. He has led and grown teams at Udacity, CrunchBase, Bazaarvoice and Terminal.com, shipping classroom tooling, content systems, and large-scale consumer and B2B platforms while holding patents tied to his work. Will is comfortable switching between coding, prototyping and strategy—having both architected systems and personally built prototypes and open-source tools like Jupyter Graffiti—so he stays close to technical detail while managing at scale. Colleagues describe him as pragmatic and people-first, with a track record of reducing launch times and building respectful engineering cultures. Trained in product design and computer graphics at Stanford, he brings a designer’s sensibility to engineering leadership and product decisions.
