FEATURED SPEAKERS

Bogdan
Ripa

VP of Product Management @ UiPath

Entrepreneur at heart & startup co-founder, currently expanding UiPath's product suite as the Vice President of Product.

Entrepreneur at heart, Bogdan cofounded his first startup, InterAKT Online, when he was 21 years old. He started by doing consultancy for web apps using open-source technologies and ended up automating their own work by building products for web developers.

Six years later, the company he co-founded was acquired by Adobe, where he worked in engineering and product management helping grow their Romanian campus from 30 to 300+ employees while contributing to Adobe’s digital media product suite, acting as an entrepreneurial coach, and having a decisive role in one of the company’s largest M&A deal. This time from the acquirer’s side.

After 8 years with Adobe, he decided to return to the startup environment. He decided to join Vector Watch, one of the most promising Romanian Startups at the time that was building a cross-platform smartwatch with 30 days battery life, to lead product management.

A couple of years later, Fitbit acquired Vector Watch where Bogdan worked as a Sr Director of Product Management, responsible for the company’s Network cluster (gamification, social) and new product developments (Fitbit Ace).

Bogdan is now working at UiPath, as a VP of Product Management, expanding UiPath’s product suite. Join him at How to Web Conference 2022!
