Profile
Navin Watumull
With 15+ years in full-funnel product marketing, I focus on go-to-market strategy, positioning, and monetization that scales adoption, deepens engagement, and drives sustainable growth.
My path spans TikTok (1.5B+ users), Adobe Acrobat, Express & Firefly, Deel, GoFundMe, Edmunds, and Justin Timberlake's record label. Outside of work, I'm a foodie (IG: @TheBadHindu), a WSET certified wine enthusiast, and a dad to two little ones who remind me what actually matters.

What I'm Working On Now
I just started a new chapter at Adobe as a Principal Product Marketing Manager on the Acrobat team. My focus is retention: helping the people who already rely on Acrobat get more value from their subscription over time, as it evolves from "the PDF app" into an AI-powered platform for how people work with, create, and share documents and ideas – spanning Acrobat Studio, AI Assistant, and PDF Spaces.
I'm also keeping a close eye on how generative AI is reshaping the PMM role itself – and building systems to stay ahead of it.

What Excites Me Next
I'm drawn to the full product marketing stack – from positioning and messaging to pricing, packaging, GTM strategy, and lifecycle – and to the intersection of AI and product marketing in particular, where the playbook is still being written. I bring rare range across consumer and B2B, SaaS and physical products, mobile and desktop surfaces, and industries from Creative AI and Consumer Tech to Music and Social Impact.
Whether it's influencing product roadmap, launching to 1.5B+ users, or building the GTM motion from scratch – I've done it across TikTok, Adobe, Edmunds, GoFundMe, and Justin Timberlake's record label. I'm always up for a good conversation about product marketing, growth, or where this industry is headed next – feel free to reach out.
