Will Hines
Product Leader - Climate Tech & AI
Hinesy · Made in the UK. Based in Austin, TX.
I’m a product leader with a startup-to-scale background: early PM at Divide through acquisition by Google, then a decade building and shipping products across Android Enterprise and Google’s internal-to-external product pipeline. Most recently I’ve focused on climate and AI, leading a Google.org fellowship to deliver an ML-driven timber origin verification pilot for NGO/government partners.
What I Do
- Product strategy and 0-to-1 execution
- Cross-functional leadership (engineering, design, research, partnerships)
- Translating ML / geospatial data into decision-grade products
