@jayweiser
Product management executive transforming cybersecurity and AI platforms into scalable SaaS solutions.
What I'm looking for
I’m a product management executive with deep experience in cybersecurity, cloud native SaaS, and AI driven platforms. I modernize legacy systems, scale enterprise products, and drive successful M and A outcomes—especially when the technology is complex and the product must become accessible and measurable.
As an independent consultant, I advise venture capital firms on product market fit and technical viability for cybersecurity and risk quantification products, leading 0 to 1 market discovery for early stage AI validation and Web 3.0 initiatives.
In leadership roles, I’ve shaped product strategy, converted complex enterprise platforms into tiered SaaS portfolios, and delivered automated FAIR risk quantification that reduced customer time to value from weeks to days. I also build AI and machine learning driven detection and automate workflows to reduce abuse and operating costs—while aligning roadmaps across cross-functional teams.
