Tanya Bragin's career trajectory is a testament to a seamless melding of technical acumen and business savvy. Her journey began in much uncertainty as she navigated the academic world at the University of Washington. While pursuing graduate studies in distributed systems, she found herself seeking a means to align her rigorous technical foundation with the pragmatic world of business.

The pivotal moment in Tanya's career came when her professor pointed her towards the field of product management, a role she had been unaware of but one that perfectly bridged her twin interests. She took her foray into the industry at a Seattle startup named Extrahop, preferring the nimbleness of a smaller company over the lure of established tech giants.

At Extrahop, Tanya's role encapsulated the challenges of leveraging her technical knowledge in a business context, allowing her to expand her repertoire within the data space—something she had not initially envisioned for herself. Her background in consulting further enriched her approach, underscoring her journey not just as a technologist, but as a strategic thinker and influential product manager.
