About Benjamin Saks
I believe strong products are built on clarity, disciplined execution, and earning trust over time. I lead Product at onWater, the first AI-native decision platform for water recreation. We’re building a trusted digital platform that helps people confidently plan and enjoy time on the water. My focus is turning complex environmental data into simple, dependable experiences people rely on. I specialize in product-led growth, pricing strategy, and building high-performing product teams that ship consistently. Over the past two decades I’ve worked across SaaS, hardware, and design-driven businesses—translating complex technical systems into products that feel intuitive and durable. Previously, I led product strategy at Easel and founded KerfCase, a premium hardware brand with a granted utility patent. Focus Areas • Product Strategy & Leadership • AI-Driven Software • Product-Led Growth (PLG) • Pricing & Packaging • Design-Led Development • Hardware–Software Systems

I’m especially excited to apply my experience in product leadership at this stage of the company, where focus and execution matter most.Our focus will be on building thoughtful, well-designed tools that people genuinely enjoy using and rely on over time—while scaling responsibly as the company grows. This means working closely across teams to ensure product decisions support a clear, consistent experience from first use through long-term engagement.
