Wayne Lin

I am passionate about creating innovative and impactful solutions that empower people and businesses to achieve their goals. As a co-founder and Chief Product Officer of Upside, a technology company that increases the financial power of people and businesses in the real world, I lead our R&D teams across product, engineering, operations, design, and data. I am proud to be part of a mission-driven organization that is making a positive difference in the world. Since 2016 we've generated $1B+ in economic value, offset 3M+ tons of CO2, and rescued 1.5M+ lbs of food. At Upside, I am responsible for shaping our product vision, strategy, and roadmap, as well as driving the execution and delivery of our products. I oversee the development and launch of our products that help millions of people get more purchasing power on the things they need, and tens of thousands of brick and mortar businesses earn measurable profit – all while contributing to important sustainability initiatives. With over 20 years of experience in product management, marketing, and analytics, I bring a diverse and entrepreneurial perspective to our team. I have founded and led multiple ventures in the past, and earned an MBA from Wharton with a focus on entrepreneurial management.
