Mahesh Guruswamy is a seasoned product development executive who has been in the software development space for over twenty years and has managed teams of varying sizes for over a decade. He is currently the chief technology officer at Kickstarter. Before that, he was an executive running product development teams at Mosaic, Kajabi, and Smartsheet.
 
Mahesh caught the writing bug from his favorite author, Stephen King. He started out writing short stories and eventually discovered that long-form writing was a great medium to share information with product development teams. The essays he wrote over the last few years culminated in his first book "How to Deliver Bad News and Get Away With It". He is currently working on his second book, which is targeted at professionals looking to build an accelerated career in tech. When he is not working on a book, he publishes long form essays on leadership and management on his Substack.
