About Daniel Heller
I\'ve spent my career at the intersection of strategy, curiosity, and execution — in some pretty unusual contexts. Before moving into product, I managed Presidential motorcades for the Obama and Biden administrations, led marketing campaigns for Bose and Nestlé, and onboarded hundreds of enterprise customers onto a streaming platform — experiences that taught me how to lead cross-functional teams, listen deeply, and stay calm when the stakes are high. Today I\'m a Product Manager at Vimeo, where I lead end-to-end delivery for Vimeo OTT, a white-label subscription video streaming SaaS platform supporting 700+ SMB customers and creators. My work spans monetization features like membership subscriptions, video bumpers, and Stripe integrations, as well as viewer experience improvements and a cross-platform integration expanding OTT access to all Vimeo users. My approach is grounded in continuous customer discovery — I\'ve spent years in onboardings, discovery calls, and support escalations, and that direct exposure shapes how I prioritize, write requirements, and push back when data and user stories don\'t align. I\'m especially strong in subscription and monetization product, cross-functional leadership, and translating messy qualitative feedback into crisp, actionable roadmaps. I\'m a Certified Scrum Master, comfortable in SQL and JIRA, and hold a BA from Tufts (magna cum laude) plus certificates in UX Research & Design and Data Analysis. If you\'re building in streaming, media tech, SaaS monetization, or civic tech — or just curious what Presidential advance work has to do with shipping software — I\'d love to connect. d•••••••@gmail.com

I help build tools that help creators and media businesses grow their audiences and monetize their content. I’ve led 20+ feature releases across multiple product areas, contributing to Vimeo OTT’s ~$50M annual revenue and supporting over 700 sales-assisted customers. I focus on connecting business goals with customer needs, grounding decisions in data, client feedback, and competitive analysis, to prioritize features that drive revenue and renewals. I partner cross-functionally with Engineering, Design, Sales, and Account Management to bring products from concept to launch, overseeing everything from PRDs to go-to-market execution and internal enablement.
