@rossstewart
I lead product design that makes complex SaaS, AI, and cybersecurity products feel simple.
United StatesWhat I'm looking for
I'm building PENTA and The Spark Index, leading product strategy and hands-on design for AI, data-risk, and product-validation products. I also shipped DataGate, translating complex data and compliance signals into clear decision-support workflows.
At OPSWAT, I owned product design and UX direction across a 20+ product cybersecurity portfolio. I led expansion from 9 to 23 products, including six launches and four acquisition integrations, while supporting 26% year-over-year ARR growth.
I scaled Product Design from 2 to 12 across five global offices and built the critique, QA, and leadership practices that raised quality. I also governed a shared Figma design system supported by React and Angular components, helping increase delivery velocity by 35%.
Earlier, I led field-sales transformation at Simplot Australia and mobile and connectivity experiences at Telstra. Across SaaS, AI, cybersecurity, data-rich platforms, and digital commerce, I turn complex workflows into coherent experiences people can understand and use.
