Katarina Ling

I'm a product leader passionate about building tools that empower people to succeed. With a track record of driving impact while balancing integrity, privacy, and user experience, I thrive in complex environments where collaboration and innovation are key.

At Facebook, I led teams across Messenger Kids, Notifications, and Profile Discovery, tackling challenges that required deep cross-functional partnership. In addition to hands-on creative and scrappy problem solving with engineers, I was twice honored with company-wide awards for successfully navigating a highly sensitive integrity and safety challenge, as well as for outstanding collaboration with the Privacy Team.

Beyond tech, I’ve extended my passion for learning and impact into the nonprofit space—serving as a treasurer as well as creating new enrichment opportunities for students. I believe great products start with understanding people and their goals, and I bring that philosophy into everything I build.
