Dipti Desai

I am a data-driven product manager with solid experience in product development, program management, and client engagement for software and hardware products. My expertise lies at the intersection of SaaS (software as a service) and big data and analytics in startup environments. I am an engineer by training and enjoy applying both the left and right sides of my brain when solving problems. I care about: helping grow businesses, organizational culture, product management, client success, working on big data-related products which involve solving challenges of scale and usability. I studied electrical engineering and public policy because I enjoy thinking about problems in the context of technology, markets, and international affairs.
