Head of Product

Head of Product - Cybersecurity SaaS

I am exclusively partnering with a deep-tech scale-up that is redefining how enterprise software is validated, tested, and secured. While traditional tools act as basic safety nets catching surface-level errors, this business has built an advanced AI-driven engine that understands complex business logic. It predicts how systems can fail or be exploited, then launches those scenarios safely within the engineering pipeline to prove the risk is real. They have recently secured significant early-stage funding
