About Karl White

Senior Product Manager | Data Platforms · Analytics · Healthcare · B2B SaaS | KPI Frameworks · Cross-Functional Leadership · Empathy First DevelopmentI build data systems that solve real problems for real people, not just ship features. My work sits at the intersection of business strategy, engineering, and human behavior, and I don't consider something done until it's actually changing how people work and decide.Most recently, I independently architected the v1 Dentive Intelligence platform (data model, database, and reporting layer), then partnered with BI and DBA teams to scale it to 200+ users across 100+ dental practices. The platform standardized KPIs, improved cross-functional alignment, and surfaced $800K+ in annual savings and revenue insights, contributing to ~2% company growth during a 10% market downturn.I’m deeply outcome-oriented. I start with the problem — who’s struggling, why it matters, and what success actually looks like for them — then work backward into the architecture. That means I’ll push back on a roadmap item if it doesn’t trace to a real human need, and I’ll fight for one that does even when it’s hard to build.My work typically centers on:• Data platforms, analytics products, and decision systems• KPI frameworks, metric governance, and organizational clarity• Translating business strategy into scalable technical architecture• Cross-functional leadership across product, engineering, and stakeholders• Driving adoption by solving the right problems, not just building the obvious onesOutside of product, I’m a professional singer, Russian speaker, and lifelong learner — experiences that have made me a sharper listener, a more empathetic collaborator, and a better communicator across every level of an organization.If you’re building products where outcomes matter more than output, I’d be glad to connect.
