About Robert Vizza

I’m a product and platform leader with 25+ years of experience driving impact at the intersection of technology, strategy, and how organizations actually work.Today, my focus is on building strategic workforce planning platforms and capabilities at Nike, helping connect business strategy to talent, capability, and organizational decisions at scale.Across my career, from global enterprises (Capital One, GEICO, Intel, Autodesk) to startups, I’ve built and led product organizations, scaled platforms used by millions, and delivered measurable outcomes, from $10M+ in annual business value at GEICO in year one to market-shaping partnerships with Apple and Oracle.Over time, my work has evolved. I started by building customer-facing products. I now focus more broadly on the systems that shape how organizations plan, decide, and execute, where product thinking, data, and human dynamics intersect.What sets me apart:Driving ImpactDelivering growth, cost efficiency, and stronger customer and business outcomes at scale.Building Empowered TeamsTreating teams as the most important product, creating environments that enable autonomy, clarity, and sustained performance.Bringing Entrepreneurial Agility to EnterprisesApplying startup-tested adaptability to help large organizations move faster, simplify complexity, and deliver meaningful results.I believe the most important systems we build aren’t just products; they’re the organizations behind them.
