About Kazi Islam

I build products that move metrics and close deals that move revenue. Most people do one or the other. I do both — and I think that\'s a competitive advantage.**On the product side:** I\'ve spent the last 5+ years owning roadmaps end-to-end, shipping consumer and SaaS products across mobile, web, and blockchain. At Upstream, I prioritized and launched features that helped users raise $10M on-platform, built SQL dashboards in Retool to drive weekly roadmap decisions, and shipped analytics-led improvements that lifted onboarding conversion by 63%. At Truth Arts, I led product for a multi-chain asset bridging tool, a community platform that scaled to 100K+ user submissions, and a token launch that hit $40M market cap in 24 hours.**On the sales side:** I generated $1.2M in new annual revenue at SocialRank (166–190% quota, three years running) and brought the company to profitability. I\'ve run full-cycle sales to founders, operators, and enterprise stakeholders — and I\'ve used every insight from those conversations to build better products.**What I bring to the table:**→ End-to-end product ownership: roadmap, requirements, sprints, launch, iteration→ Data fluency: SQL, Mixpanel, Firebase, Retool, GameAnalytics→ Full-cycle sales: pipeline generation, discovery, close, account growth→ Startup DNA: I\'ve worked in teams of 5 and teams of 50. I ship fast and make hard calls with imperfect information.NYC-based. Open to remote. Looking for my next PM or hybrid product/growth role at a company where the work matters and the bar is high.
