About Narayanan Murugappan

I am a Product Manager with 4+ years of experience across product management, product strategy, and software engineering. Below are key areas where I\'ve demonstrated excellence: Launching Revenue-Generating B2B Products At Xperi, I led the end-to-end delivery of a sports metadata platform for smart TV platforms and media partners. This product went from ideation to launch and generated $0.5M+ in annualized revenue in its first quarter. I defined the product roadmap, scoped MVP features, aligned internal and external stakeholders, and drove adoption across B2B customers. Driving Cross-Functional Collaboration Across my roles at Xperi, Veritas, and Bank of America, I’ve driven cross-functional collaboration by aligning Engineering, QA, Security, Middleware, Product, and external vendors—ensuring delivery of high-impact solutions by proactively resolving blockers and translating strategy into execution. At Xperi, I helped refine sprint planning for metadata engineering, managing roadmap execution across multiple high priority business and customer initiatives. Executing Clear Strategy with MVP Focus As a co-founder of Autospot, I led a team of 9 engineers to define the product vision and design a smart spotting assistant for fitness. I conducted 50+ user interviews, created an FRD, and turned insights into an MVP that addressed core pain points. At Xperi, I also contributed to the company’s FAST Channels strategy by analyzing FAST value chain, mapping revenue and data flows, and identifying where metadata, voice, PCD offerings can drive monetization Stakeholder Communication I’ve presented product plans and strategic recommendations to senior stakeholders across multiple orgs. At Veritas, I conducted competitive analysis of Microsoft 365 and delivered insights to executive leadership to shape product direction. At Bank of America, I mentored 800+ task force members through live training demos, improving SBA loan processing for the CARES act for small business in the united states. Leading with Clarity and Influence I’ve led teams both formally and informally—from mentoring junior PMs to acting as a subject-matter expert. At Bank of America, I helped boost productivity by 50% by centralizing visibility into project status and leading communication between lead analysts and project managers.
