About Jesse Johnston
I\'m a product leader working at the intersection of AI, multi-device computing, and user experience at global scale.At Google, I lead product for the large-screen ecosystem across Android and ChromeOS, shaping how phones, tablets, and laptops work together as a single, intelligent system used by over 1B people. My focus is on turning fragmented device experiences into seamless, context-aware computing that just works, and on defining what ambient, AI-native computing looks like as devices become smarter and more interconnected.My work spans platform strategy and hands-on building. I\'ve scaled multi-device experiences from early-stage features to core ecosystem capabilities, while prototyping and launching new ideas using AI-native development workflows (LLMs, rapid prototyping, and agentic tooling). I think the most interesting product work happening right now lives at this boundary: where AI meets system design at scale.Over 15+ years, I\'ve built a track record of 0→1 launches that became scaled platforms, led high-performing PM teams, and earned 7+ patents across connectivity, UX, and system design.What motivates me: making technology feel cohesive, intuitive, and invisible, especially at the moments when it crosses between devices.Outside of work, I\'m a builder at heart — experimenting with AI tools, running a homelab, and finding new ways to bring software and systems together.
