About Ravi
Hands-on Product Manager & Product Leader with 15+ years of experience building & scaling digital products – from startups to global platforms like LinkedIn.
I’ve shipped 500+ features, built & led high-performing Product teams, and helped companies unlock revenue through sharper strategy, execution, and culture.
Now I work as a fractional Product Lead – blending bold Product thinking with modern AI tools & automation to speed up outcomes without bloated headcount.
What I Can Do for You
- Product strategy & roadmaps – Clarify goals, define metrics, and focus your roadmap to maximise speed to results.
- Hands-on PM support – Run product discovery, data analysis, customer interviews, specs, and sprints.
- Build/scale Product teams – Hire & coach PMs, set up team structure and lean rituals.
- AI integration – Use OpenAI, Gemini, Claude, n8n, Zapier where AI actually helps.
- Cross-functional alignment – Sync Product, Design, Engineering, Marketing & Sales fast.
Experience highlights
- LinkedIn – Shipped Premium features & API integrations used by 100M+ users.
- Blacklane – Built B2B product, doubled ride retention via Product + cross-functional fixes.
- Moonfare – Head of Product. Helped grow AUM from $500M → $1B in 6 months by streamlining investor discovery & onboarding.
Since then, I've supported 100+ SaaS, fintech, and marketplace, and agency teams as builder, advisor, or fractional lead.
What you'll get
- Clear thinker fluent in business, design, and tech
- Deep product instincts, real user research
- Fast execution, no fluff or hand-holding
- AI where it helps, not where it doesn’t
