Gokul Nair
Senior Product & UX Leader
I build and scale sports-tech platforms by blending product strategy and UX systems thinking.
Product leader with 10+ years of experience building digital platforms in sports-tech, media-tech, and SaaS. I specialize in scaling products from concept to market by combining strategic product thinking with deep UX expertise.
My Approach to Product Leadership
I believe great products are built at the intersection of user empathy, business strategy, and technical feasibility. My approach focuses on:
Outcome-Driven Strategy
Focus on business impact and user value, not just features. Every product decision should ladder up to measurable outcomes.
Systems Thinking
Build scalable product foundations that can evolve. Think platforms, not just features.
User-Centric Execution
Combine quantitative data with qualitative insights to make informed product decisions that truly serve users.
“Great products aren’t just well-designed—they solve real problems, drive business outcomes, and scale gracefully as they grow.”— My core belief about product development
