About Dan Brodovich

Product Management Leader, building features used by 1B+ people across 150+ countries. 2025 Product Manager Award Winner (Products That Count) and Excellent Mentor Award recipient at TikTok (2024). I specialize in turning regulatory pressure into competitive advantage — shipping products that are compliant, user-empowering, and growth-positive. At TikTok, I led the 0-to-1 implementation of non-personalized recommender systems across 15+ teams to meet EU DSA requirements — while maintaining core engagement metrics. I then built the industry\'s first user algorithm control suite (Manage Topics, Algo Refresh, AI-based Smart Keyword Filtering), reaching tens of millions of daily users and generating 5K+ media mentions that shifted TikTok\'s narrative from \"harmful black box\" to \"industry benchmark.\" Other highlights: launched the STEM Feed globally, a researcher virtual clean room, and AMBER Alerts in the US (highlighted at the ByteDance Annual All-Hands). I also supported the donation tools evolution that powered the MrBeast #TeamWater campaign ($40M raised) and drove accessibility improvements that unlocked new revenue from DE & I-committed advertisers. I founded TikTok\'s Transparency & Responsibility product pillar from zero — scaling the team to 9 PMs and ~80 cross-functional partners. One direct report earned Forbes 30 Under 30 recognition under my mentorship. I thrive when ambiguity is 100% and the stakes are high. Always open to connecting at the intersection of AI, responsible tech, and consumer scale.
