About

As a Lead PM with Citrix, I drive secure access product development for the ever-evolving enterprise, combining browser and agent based secure access capabilities together for a seamless and secure enfuser experience. As a Product Manager at Netskope, I led platform engineering initiatives and DNSaaS product management. With over 15 years of experience in the IT industry, I have a strong background in product management, marketing, and sales. I have successfully managed multiple product areas, including cloud gateways and firewalls for IBM Cloud, VPC network underlay and vNICs/SmartNICs/DPUs, and application security for VPC Cloud. I have also launched the 3100 Series Cisco Secure Firewall, which received the Innovate Everywhere CR Award from management. My expertise lies in identifying long-term roadmaps for network and security architecture, as well as driving pricing, feature prioritization, and planning for product operations management. I am passionate about delivering innovative solutions that meet the needs of our customers and stakeholders. Github (AI Vibe Coding) - https://github.com/abhishekrayasam
