Mollie Pettit

As a seasoned leader with over 7 years of experience at the crossroads of Developer Relations, Product Marketing, and Product Management, I excel in building and leading high-performing, cross-functional teams. My leadership style is rooted in collaboration and strategic alignment, ensuring that Engineering, Product, Marketing, and Developer Relations teams work seamlessly together to deliver products that resonate with users and drive business growth. I have a proven track record of driving product adoption and scaling developer ecosystems, leading to enhanced customer relationships and accelerated product development. My experience spans managing global teams, guiding product launches, and building vibrant communities that not only support but also inspire innovation. A co-founder of the Data Visualization Society, I’ve grown a passionate community to over 19,000 members and launched the Outlier conference, creating a platform for thought leaders and innovators in data visualization. Starting my career as a Data Scientist and Data Visualization Engineer, I have a deep understanding of transforming complex datasets into usable dashboards that drive decision-making. When I’m not working, you’ll likely find me partner dancing, especially in fusion, blues, and swing styles. Biking is my main mode of transportation, and I recently took it to the next level by completing RAGBRAI, a 500-mile weeklong bike trek across Iowa. I also love a good podcast; I'm currently listening through all of Normal Gossip. :)
