About Destry Gustin

I\'m a product leader with 20 years of experience bridging strategy and execution — with a technical foundation that helps me move faster, earn engineering trust, and make smarter tradeoffs than most PMs in the room.My career spans Director and Senior PM roles across fintech, healthcare, and automotive, where I\'ve taken SaaS platforms from concept to scale, grown annual recurring revenue to $8M+ across SMB customers, and built product organizations from the ground up.Product-Led Growth in practice: At Fintech, I designed and launched a freemium AP portal that converted passive customers into paying users through self-serve upgrades — adding $3M in new recurring revenue in its first year. That\'s not a PLG talking point; that\'s a growth loop I built and shipped.AI as a product lever: I use AI to run leaner, faster product teams — embedding ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini into discovery, documentation, and delivery workflows. I also look for opportunities to bring AI capabilities into the products themselves, not just the process around them.Technical depth that earns trust: My engineering background isn\'t a footnote — it\'s how I navigate complex tradeoffs, accelerate delivery, and build credibility with technical stakeholders. Three patented inventions came directly from product-engineering collaboration.Core strengths: Product Strategy · Product-Led Growth · Go-to-Market · OKRs & KPIs · Agile/Scrum · Roadmapping · Stakeholder Alignment · Team BuildingTools: Jira · Aha! · Notion · Figma · Miro · Heap · Google Analytics · Salesforce · SQL
