Amit Deshpande

I’m an engineering leader with 25+ years building and scaling B2B SaaS platforms, marketplaces, and cloud-native systems across global enterprises. I’ve driven monetization, platform growth, and customer experience transformation—contributing to marketplace expansion and improving conversion, adoption, and retention using data-led product and engineering strategies.

I’ve led AI-led engineering productivity by embedding agent-based automation across backlog intelligence, roadmap planning, and operational workflows, reducing repetitive app-installs support effort by 30%+ and improving decision velocity. At Atlassian, I scaled marketplace engineering from 12 to 35+ engineers, owned app pricing/packaging and free-to-paid conversion OKRs, helped grow GMV from $1B to $4.3B, and delivered a 6-week reliability turnaround to “green” health with zero backlog. Earlier at Software AG, I stabilized and turned around a crisis-hit B2B cloud organization, restoring release reliability and rebuilding customer confidence within 7 months.
