ABOUT DHRUV S SHARMA

I help organizations and platform/product/engineering leaders build, productize and turn enablement/internal platforms (Cloud Platform, Data Platform, app runtimes, security/GRC, DevEx, IDP, DevOps) from “operational spend” into aligned, measurable business value.How I do it• Install a shared business language (ROI, IVS, SVS) so reliability, security, DevEx, and revenue sit on one fair scale.• Use the Chain of Alignment (initiatives → goals → metrics → money & risk) to tie Cloud/App/DevOps work to company strategy.• Run a weekly operating cadence: prioritization, sequencing, benefits tracking.• Steer the portfolio with a Control Tower to focus scarce capacity and protect resilience/debt.• Make status decision-grade with Product Health (numbers + narrative).• Keep audiences in sync with persona-led roadmaps and an Alignment Triad.What sets me apart20 years across product management, engineering, department leadership, and C-suite collaboration (reported to CIO; partnered with CEO on funding/strategy). Cross-industry work in six countries; built platforms from mobile/web to cloud and operating systems. Because I’ve sat in product + engineering + business seats, I bring a rare, integrative perspective—seeing platform problems from multiple angles and synthesizing a business-grounded approach that leaders can defend in money and risk terms.Results Programs I’ve led have secured multi-year funding, improved reliability and lead time, and produced roadmaps the business trusts.Author Author of Platform Product Leadership: From Black Box to Aligned, Measurable Value—a practical system you can run weekly.Let’s connect Mentor on Platform Product Management, Cloud Infra, App Platforms, DevOps/DevEx, platform ROI, executive communication.
