Anand Narayanan

Multi‑domain product leader: Anand has repeatedly moved between technical infrastructure (storage, NAS, file systems), cloud compute, and consumer/edtech products — demonstrating the ability to apply product and operational thinking across both B2B and B2C environments. This breadth shows he is comfortable with both data‑driven consumer experiments and complex enterprise product storytelling. logrocket+2

Deep technical-product background in storage and cloud: Anand’s earlier engineering and product roles at National Instruments and Dell gave him hands-on technical experience (LabVIEW, instrument control, enterprise storage) that he later translated into cloud product leadership at Rackspace and product strategy at Simplilearn. economictimes+1

People and leadership focus: Across interviews and profiles he emphasizes coaching, creating frameworks/guardrails for teams, and building leaders who can ‘take the role’ — including hands‑on mentoring of PMs and enabling product managers to lead go‑to‑market work. logrocket

Edtech product scaling and platform work: At Simplilearn he led product efforts that launched platform features (LMS) and subscription models to increase learner engagement and course completion—work combining product, engineering and business operations. simplilearn+1

Global technical + business education and cross‑market experience: Anand combines an engineering degree from NITK, an MS in Computer Science (Texas A&M) and an MBA from UT Austin — a mix that underpins his ability to move between hands‑on technical problems and executive product strategy. economictimes+1
