Amber Van Hecke, MBA — Product Manager
Product leader with 12+ years of experience leading teams and driving revenue across SaaS, cloud, developer, and platform businesses. I've led high-impact work at MongoDB, Confluent, Atlassian, and Metronome across cloud marketplace and ecosystem integration strategy, billing and monetization, onboarding and activation, developer experience, and platform modernization. I'm known for leading strategy, setting clear direction, aligning cross-functional teams, and turning complex opportunities into focused execution and measurable business results. My experience spans people management, product strategy, roadmap leadership, and execution across product, engineering, design, data, partnerships, go-to-market (GTM), and executive stakeholders. I've directly managed PMs, led distributed teams across continents, and driven major product and platform shifts in both high growth startups and established enterprises. My work has included building new revenue channels, strengthening activation and customer experience, influencing company wide initiatives, presenting to boards, and partnering closely with AWS, Azure, and GCP. I'm especially strong in using data strategy as a leadership lever by aligning teams around the right success signals, connecting product and growth funnels, and shaping measurement approaches that drive compounding business impact over time, grounded in a strong understanding of data platforms, data modeling, and enterprise analytics ecosystems. I care deeply about building high-performing teams, mentoring others, and creating clarity in ambiguous environments so teams can do their best work. Outside of my day to day roles, I advise and mentor Austin-area companies and have spoken at conferences including Microsoft Inspire, La Product Conference, International PM Festival, Productized, and Atlassian Summit. I hold an MBA with a concentration in statistics from Texas State University and degrees in Finance and Corporate Communications from The University of Texas at Austin.
