Sanju Varma

Hands-on design leader for complex business platforms, now at Zūm. Before that, Tesla’s fleet business, Adobe, and the teams I built at Cisco and PubMatic.

At Zūm, I also lead the shift to AI-native product design: live prototypes now guide how engineering builds.

Outside work, I design and build products end to end with coding agents, which keeps my craft and technical judgement current.
