Ali Lashari

Product Leader | Bridging Engineering Precision & AI Innovation

I am a Technical Product Manager with over 8 years of experience building complex systems and scaling B2B SaaS products. My career began in Aerospace Engineering, where I developed a disciplined approach to systems thinking and requirement validation. Today, I apply that same rigor to leading cross-functional teams in the AI and Machine Learning space.

Key Career Highlights:

• Scaling & Operations (iEngineering): For the Transconomy product, I scaled an operations team from 45 to 60 members in 30 days while increasing team efficiency by 50% through process optimization.

• $0 → 1$ Product Launch: I currently lead AMEA product teams at SigmaSight and Red Buffer, managing the entire lifecycle from ideation and backlog refinement to successful market launch.

• Global Collaboration: As a Fulbright Scholar (MS from UMass Amherst), I have extensive experience acting as a bridge between technical teams in the AMEA region and executive stakeholders in the US, ensuring product roadmaps align with high-level business goals.

• Technical Depth: I am deeply involved in the "how" as well as the "why," with hands-on experience in Deep Learning, Python (Flask/FastAPI), and LLM integrations—including developing my own AI-powered applications.

What I Bring to Remote Teams:

I thrive in environments that require navigating ambiguity and solving complex technical roadblocks. I am an expert in Agile/Scrum methodologies and have a proven ability to convert international B2B leads into loyal customers through clear communication and robust solution design.

When I’m not refining backlogs, I’m usually experimenting with 3D printing, DIY hardware, or exploring the latest in generative AI.
