I'm Shaun Clowes, I'm a long time technologist, executive, advisor, investor and speaker
My Day Job
I’m currently Chief Product Officer @ Confluent, a NASDAQ listed company building a complete data streaming platform based around Kafka. Previously I was Chief Product Officer @ MuleSoft, a Salesforce cloud with >$1.6bn annual revenue. At MuleSoft I led a team of over 250 Product, Design, Content and Data specialists delivering the world’s best unified platform for Automation, Integration, Automation and API Management. Before that I was Chief Product Officer @ Metromile, an NYSE listed insurtech disrupting the auto insurance industry. Prior to that I spent 6 years @ Atlassian where I initially ran product for Jira Agile (now Jira Software) and then spent 5 years building the industry's first B2B Growth team (and later, 60 person strong multi-disciplinary department).
Advising / Investing
I advise companies on product management and growth. With Brian Balfour and Casey Winters I created the Reforge Retention + Engagement Program. With Crystal Widjaja I created the Reforge Data for Product Managers Program. I’m an investor in a variety of seed, Series A and later stage companies.
Specialites
I'm passionate about building great products so I spend a lot of time thinking and writing about:
Winning product strategies in technology markets
How to successfully scale tech companies from 2 to 20, from 20 to 200 and from 200 to > 2000
Using product to drive growth and building products that sell themselves
