About

Ahmed Saquif Alam

Principal Product Owner · Optimizely. Based in Dhaka, Bangladesh.

Hands-on senior PM who writes his own prototypes, queries his own production data, and ships his own A/B tests alongside engineering. Pre-PMF is the right fit. Currently leads two platform-side teams at Optimizely. The Optimizely CMP platform team, and the integrations team that owns how CMP talks to every other platform in a customer's stack.

The previous chapter at Optimizely was Senior Product Owner for the in-house agentic AI platform that powers Marketing and Experimentation Ops at enterprise scale. Built workflow agents, canvas-based orchestration, an internal Tools SDK, and RAG pipelines against brand-voice corpora. Many thousands of agents now in production across enterprise customers. Optimizely is a top-3 Digital Experience Platform globally with $400M+ ARR, competing head-to-head with Adobe Experience Manager and Sitecore. Five promotions in six years.

Credit decisioning, BNPL-style lending, invoice discounting. 4,000+ retailers on platform, 10 tons of products shipped daily, ~$2M in credit disbursed. Currently raising Series A. Still co-founder but no longer day-to-day, having moved focus to Optimizely.
  • Nurby AI (founder). An operating system for security and compliance teams who want plain-language rules running over their existing camera infrastructure. Local AI, no cloud uploads, webhooks into the rest of the stack. Tagline: “n8n for surveillance.”

Hands-on stack

Next.js, Python, SQL, JavaScript, Flutter / Dart for prototyping. Claude Code for agent-assisted development. Webhooks. FullStory, Mixpanel, Amplitude, Power BI, Periscope, Datadog for analytics and observability. Jira, Figma, Notion, Coda, Miro for product workflow.

For founders

I take 0→1 products through PMF, set up the eval and experiment loops, wire in agentic harnesses, and ship new agentic features alongside engineering. Once the team needs to scale, I hire the next two PMs. Pre-PMF is the right fit. Open to leadership roles at fast-paced startups and open to relocation. Best categories: agentic AI, B2B SaaS, FinTech, platforms with high-scale enterprise customers.
