Jeena has over 15 years of experience forging strong business and technical product partnerships across advertising, publishing and developer products and platforms at Google and SaaS startups where she accelerated global business growth by building product-led solutions and partnerships that enhanced developer experiences. She also has a proven track record of building strong global, cross-functional teams.
