Nan Yu

Head of Product

Brooklyn, United States

Nan Yu is Linear's Head of Product and was the company's first product-management hire, joining in 2021 after leading product at Mode Analytics (VP of Product & interim CTO) and serving as CTO of Everlane. He began his career as a software engineer at Goldman Sachs and an AVP at Bank of America before moving into product and engineering leadership, and holds a BS in Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences from UC Berkeley. For years he was Linear's only product manager, running product for a company that reached a $1.25B valuation with just one or two PMs -- a discipline he has written and spoken about widely as 'the Linear Method.'
