About Prasad Pandav

Product leader who blends deep engineering roots with revenue-first product strategy to scale B2B platforms into durable, partner-led growth engines. Over + years in software products (and 11+ years leading product management), I\'ve operated across telecom, fintech/payments, IoT, and enterprise SaaS - owning outcomes from 0→1 launches to portfolio modernization, GTM repositioning, and measurable revenue expansion.My edge is building products where complexity is the constraint: regulated domains, legacy platforms, multi-tenant SaaS, and ecosystem integrations. I translate that complexity into clear strategy, decisive roadmaps, and repeatable execution - aligning engineering, sales, and customers around the few bets that move ARR, adoption, and retention: Scaled a product line from EUR 1.2M to EUR 3.8M in 2 years and built a pipeline targeting EUR 5.3M ARR by reshaping market focus, roadmap priorities, and a SaaS commercialization model. Driven platform shifts under strict compliance (e.g, PCI-CPP) using approaches like pseudonymization to unlock SaaS adoption. Built a 0→GA developer ecosystem that became the de-facto standard for implementations, improving partner experience (Beta NPS 26 vs -10) and growing active partners from 2 to 14 - reducing delivery friction and accelerating time-to-value. Promoted into product leadership to redefine product analytics strategy, building a unified data foundation across usage, support, discovery, and behavior signals to improve prioritization, adoption, and customer outcomes.I’m equally focused on what’s now table-stakes for modern product leadership: AI as a product capability, not a slide. I’ve led GenAI initiatives including an internal code copilot (requirements → roadmap → beta → rollout → pricing) and GenAI-powered self-help experiences using vectorization—improving developer productivity and support effectiveness while shaping an ALM-oriented platform direction.I’m at my best in roles that demand portfolio thinking + hands-on product craft: setting strategy, building high-performing teams, modernizing platforms, scaling ecosystems, and delivering AI-enabled differentiation with clear ROI. If you’re hiring a VP Product to drive the next phase of growth, I’d love to connect.
