The product has become complicated.
I find the throughline, clarify what matters and help the team make confident decisions again.
Product Leader & Builder
I build products that solve real problems.
I help companies figure out what to build, how to build it and how to make it successful. I think about everyone involved, from the customers using the product to the teams building and supporting it.
I’m usually brought in when the product is important, the path is unclear and getting it right requires the whole organization to move together.
The problems people bring me
The harder the problem, the more useful I become.
The teams are not moving together.
I translate across product, design, engineering, content, revenue and leadership so the work can move as one.
The company needs to transform without stopping.
I help rebuild the platform, process or product while the business continues to operate.
The idea needs to become real.
I turn ambiguity into an experience customers can understand, use and choose to come back to.
How I think about the work
Good product leadership is not about having every answer.
It is about helping the team ask better questions, make sound decisions and stay focused on the outcome.
Start with the problem.
Features are easy to discuss. The harder and more valuable work is making sure the team understands what actually needs to change.
Give context, not just tickets.
People do their best work when they understand the goal, the constraints and why the decision matters.
Make complexity feel simple.
The product can be technically sophisticated. The experience should not make the customer carry that complexity.
Own the outcome.
Shipping is a milestone, not the definition of success. I care about whether the product works for users and the business.
Where AI fits
AI should make teams better, not just busier.
At REVOLT, I independently designed, built, tested and deployed REFINE, a suite of AI-powered editorial tools and publishing automations that the newsroom used in production. It reviewed articles, recommended SEO improvements and flagged site quality issues, helping a smaller team keep standards high and cut repetitive work.
I turn these kinds of problems into working products, not just prototypes.

The proof
Don’t take my word for it.
No. 01
Owns the outcome
“Rishi is a true example of what it means to be a PM. He leads by example. He is thorough, organized, and delivers without concern. He creates value on everything that he touches, and I continue to be impressed by his level of proficiency, accountability, and leadership.”
I own the result, not just the roadmap.
No. 02
Helps people do their best work
“Even when we were tackling totally different projects, he always had my back and made sure I was constantly learning and leveling up. He is so thorough and detail oriented, and his skills go way beyond product. He is an absolute machine when it comes to AI and automations, and he brings that incredible versatility to everything he touches.”
I want people to feel supported, trusted and able to grow.
No. 03
Connects design and engineering
“With an eye for detail and a strong sense of design coupled with the ability to connect with engineers on the technical level, Rishi is decidedly the best Product Manager that I’ve ever worked with.”
The best answer usually lives between the functions, not inside one of them.
No. 04
Keeps moving through uncertainty
“Probably his biggest positive is his ability to keep moving no matter the chaos, no matter the odds. You can’t train that cheaply.”
Ambiguity is part of the work. I bring structure without slowing the team down.
No. 05
Leads teams people trust
“He is a hands-on leader with great empathy for both the customer and the engineering team. In the face of challenge, he is calm and tenacious.”
Trust is not a leadership style. It is how strong teams become capable of running on their own.
No. 06
Builds products customers love
“Rishi has such a knack for understanding what customers want and leading the design and creation of interfaces that customers love.”
A product succeeds when people understand it, use it and genuinely like the experience.
More from people I’ve worked with
“Rishi comes through every time with well thought-out product wire-frames communicating exactly what a designer needs to know in order to create a comprehensive, polished mock-up.”
“I’ve worked with many PMs over the years and found Rishi to be one of the best. Working with him was easy and an absolute pleasure.”
“Always working with a plan and still open to suggestions, Rish not only gets the job done, but makes it look easy.”
“For me, it’s Rishi’s level of dedication that has left the lasting impression. You will not find a more dedicated person.”
“His participation in the process, not just his attendance in the ceremony, is what really stood out to me. I’d work with Rishi again in a heartbeat!”
“I would jump at the chance to work with Rishi again because I trust him to understand the customer and seek optimal solutions.”
