Ensure new capabilities are positioned around real customer problems, not just technical novelty
Empower Developer Adoption
Shape how developers integrate with and build on Weaviate with MCP, client SDKs, and future integrations
Run ongoing discovery with developers and enterprise customers to reduce time-to-value and bring customer context into engineering
Partner with GTM to ensure new capabilities ship with the positioning needed to land well
