ABOUT MARIA ERSHOVA
At SAP LeanIX, I scaled a 40+ cross-functional product organization across visualization and AI-driven capabilities.Recent outcomes include +38% YoY adoption growth and NPS 65+ for enterprise tooling.I am a Director of Product Management at SAP LeanIX, leading a multi‑product platform portfolio that helps enterprises understand, govern, and transform their IT landscapes at scale. My products serve CIOs, enterprise architects, and IT leaders across global organizations.I currently lead four Senior and Principal Product Managers and multiple teams (~40 people) across a tribe, owning four distinct product capabilities spanning reporting, diagramming, AI-assisted and MCP-based (“vibe-coded”) reporting, and extensions. My focus is on AI‑enabled, insight‑driven products, translating complex enterprise data into clear, actionable decision support.Prior to LeanIX, I held senior product roles at SAP, where I worked on AI‑driven enterprise products, including Document AI and learning platforms, supporting 2M+ active users globally. I contributed to double‑digit YoY growth through experimentation, data‑driven decision making, and continuous optimization of customer experience and ROI.Across roles, I have built and scaled high‑performing, cross‑functional teams, partnered closely with engineering, design, sales, and executive stakeholders, and held end‑to‑end accountability for product vision, portfolio strategy, roadmaps, delivery, and outcomes in complex enterprise SaaS environments.Earlier in my career, I founded and scaled a green‑tech startup from concept to international markets, giving me a strong commercial and entrepreneurial perspective that continues to inform how I build and scale products today.I’m passionate about AI in enterprise software, platform and portfolio product leadership, and mentoring product managers.
