Esteban C. — VP of Product
I’m a product leader who’s helped scale three unicorns, shape product-market fit for early-stage startups, and launch 0→1 products in hyper-growth environments. I’ve built and led PM, PD / UXR, and PMM teams from Series A through D, evolved mature platforms, gone head-to-head with Salesforce and Apple, and driven $200M+ in ARR across products used by millions. Today, I lead Product at Fleetio — a $1.5B+ B2B SaaS + Marketplace powering the real-world economy with customers in 100+ countries. Along the way, I’ve advised startups on strategy, data, operational efficiency, execution and more — across SaaS, marketplaces, social media, entertainment, and e-commerce — and spoken at events like INDUSTRY, SXSW, CES, LeWeb, Internet Week, Geotab Connect, Corporate Social Media Summit, BlogWorld, Gamification Summit, and Social Media World Forum. I also write Product State — a newsletter exploring the present and future of product leadership, featuring product leaders from around the world. ⸻ Who I strive to be: A mission-driven, customer-obsessed, evidence-based, and results-oriented product executive. I love building uniquely useful, valuable, and delightful products — the kind customers grow to love — and empowering collaborative, high-performing, and accountable teams who deeply understand their market, their software, and their goals.
