Profile: https://flows.cv/ranjitnirmale

I’m a design leader with 20+ years of experience leading high-impact product design teams across consumer, enterprise, and fintech platforms. My work sits at the intersection of user empathy, systems thinking, and business impact, turning complex challenges into intuitive, scalable experiences.

At Meta, I led design for mission critical areas of the Ads business, driving growth and simplification across consumer experiences and business performance tools. Prior to that, I helped reimagine PayPal Checkout, reinvented Visa’s commercial product suite, and modernized experiences at Dell and SAP.

I specialize in:
	•	Building and scaling high-performing, multidisciplinary design teams
	•	Driving end-to-end product strategy alongside product, engineering, and data partners
	•	Designing for simplicity at scale, from AI-enabled workflows to consumer grade enterprise UX
	•	Creating design systems that bring cohesion, speed, and craft
	•	Leading with empathy and clarity through periods of change and growth

I’m passionate about developing future leaders, championing inclusive design, and delivering measurable business outcomes through great product experiences.

Currently exploring design leadership opportunities where I can shape vision, elevate teams, and drive impact at scale.
