Matt Costa

I started as a designer who couldn't stop asking "why" and "what if." That curiosity led me to code, and later to product leadership.

This multidisciplinary foundation has been invaluable throughout my career. I can engage meaningfully with designers about interaction patterns, with engineers about architecture trade-offs, and with executives about business outcomes.

I believe the best product decisions come from combining user empathy with business reality. I spend time with customers, dig into data, and then make calls that balance user needs with what the business can actually execute and sustain.

I know that being wrong fast is better than being right slowly, and that the best teams are built on trust, context, and shared ownership of outcomes.

Whether it's building something entirely new, scaling a successful product to new markets, or transforming how an organization approaches product development, I'm energized by challenges that require both strategic thinking and hands-on leadership.
