@bryanadamson
I build SaaS and platform products that drive growth, retention, and operational transformation.
What I'm looking for
I've led product strategy and delivery for SaaS, platform, and digital-experience products at SendGrid, Gap Inc., LinkedIn, SparkPost, and VerticalResponse. At SendGrid, I launched Marketing Campaigns from concept to $18M ARR, 130% YoY growth, and 7K paying customers in its first year.
Most recently, I modernized CMS workflows at Gap Inc., cutting content production time to under two minutes and reducing a legacy backlog by 83%. I'm now building an AI-enabled bookkeeping and financial-operations service for small businesses, combining QuickBooks Online with workflow automation.
