Saad Benryane
Product Design Technology
I build products, businesses, and the teams behind them.
For more than 20 years, I’ve led product teams, built companies, and worked directly in design and engineering. Today I build with AI and help leadership teams decide where to take their products next.

A little about me
I like making hard things simple.
I love working through hard problems. I like turning ideas into something people can use, and finding solutions that feel clear once you see them.
I use data to shape hypotheses and test whether a solution works. Science, art, and design all inform how I think and what I make.

The questions I ask before building a product
A product can work as designed and still struggle when the problem, audience, or distribution is unclear.
I taught founders to build roadmaps at McGill. The framework still works.
I taught a product roadmap workshop at McGill in 2017. Building with AI has changed the pace, but I still use the same questions to decide what to build next.
What changed when I started building with coding agents
Building 1Health with coding agents changed how I write software. Product decisions, code review, and checking the live result still take my attention.
The best interfaces are the ones you don't notice
A small change to the session start flow at Paper made the next step clearer and increased session starts by about 25%. Here is how I look for that kind of improvement.
