Roman Novak
@romannovak
I build enterprise AI and analytics products grounded in customer evidence.
What I'm looking for
At Cvent, I lead reporting and data-insights initiatives across an AI portfolio, evolving analytics products into AI-first and agentic capabilities.
I take products from JTBD interviews and structured discovery through prototyping, evaluation, beta programs, and general availability. I work closely with Engineering, Design, and Data Science to deliver generative AI features, establish LLM evaluation and observability infrastructure, and protect quality with production monitoring and release gates.
My product judgment is grounded in years of turning usage data into roadmap decisions. I’ve built event-tracking frameworks in Mixpanel, funnel analytics, cohort retention models, executive dashboards, and measurement frameworks that inform product investments and feature iteration.
Before product management, I led client support, technical support, and customer-service teams. Those experiences still shape how I evaluate what is worth building: start with real customer workflows, validate the value, and deliver products people can use confidently.
