KARTIK SACHDEV
Experienced Product & Engineering Leader
ABOUT
With two decades of global experience across five countries and a track record of building and leading high-performing distributed teams, I bring a unique blend of strategic product vision, technical depth and empathetic leadership to every challenge. My career spans the full stack of technology - from software development and architecture to engineering management and product strategy - enabling me to connect the dots across disciplines and deliver meaningful business outcomes.
I've led initiatives for some of the world's most mission-critical environments - airlines, hospitals, public safety agencies, and Fortune 500 enterprises - where the stakes are high and the margin for error is zero. My passion lies at the intersection of secure AI, intuitive UX and sustainable growth - for products, customers and teams alike.
Recognized as a dependable, high-impact, and forward-thinking product leader, I thrive on empowering others, fostering innovation and scaling solutions that matter. I'm also a writer and open-source builder, sharing insights on product leadership and AI on Substack, Medium and GitHub. I care deeply about crafting purposeful products, mentoring the next generation of leaders and making the journey count.
If you're looking for a product leader who can translate vision into scalable, human-centered impact, let's connect.
