Hey there! 👋 I'm Hitesh

Security Product Manager @ Microsoft 🔒

📍 Redmond, USA | 🏠 From India

I'm a Security Product Manager at Microsoft, shaping the strategy, roadmap, and customer experience for security products that protect organizations at global scale. I partner closely with engineering, design, research, and GTM teams to turn customer pain points into shipped capabilities — across cloud security, threat protection, identity, and compliance.

• 🔭 Currently driving product strategy for cloud security and zero-trust experiences
• 🧭 Translating customer insights and threat trends into a clear product vision and roadmap
• 🤝 Partnering with engineering, design, and field teams to ship and scale impactful features
• 🎯 Focused on outcomes: adoption, customer trust, time-to-value, and measurable security uplift

• 🎯 Vision & Strategy — Defining the "why" and "what" for security products serving enterprise customers
• 🗣️ Customer Discovery — Running interviews, design partnerships, and listening systems with CISOs, SOC leads, and security architects
• 🧩 Cross-Functional Leadership — Aligning engineering, design, research, marketing, sales, and partners on a shared plan
• 📊 Data-Informed Decisions — Using telemetry, funnels, and qualitative insight to prioritize the right bets
• 🚀 Launch & GTM — Partnering on positioning, pricing, docs, enablement, and go-to-market for new capabilities
• 🛡️ Security Domain Depth — Bringing fluency in cloud security, identity, SIEM/XDR, and zero-trust to product decisions

When I'm not driving roadmaps or talking to customers, I invest in:

• 📖 Continuous Learning — Following security research, AI/product trends, and PM craft
• 👨‍👧‍👦 Community — Mentoring aspiring PMs, sharing notes from the field
• 🚶‍♂️ Wellness — Exploring the PNW, travel, and time with family
• 🎤 Writing & Sharing — Posting about security, product, and learnings

✅ Security + Product — Domain depth combined with product judgment
✅ Customer Voice — Strong discovery muscle with enterprise security buyers and practitioners
✅ Cross-Functional Glue — Aligning engineering, design, research, and GTM around a shared plan
✅ Clear Communicator — Translating complex security concepts for any audience
✅ Outcome Focused — Measuring success in customer impact, not output

💼 Always Open to Great Conversations
