Marcos Placona

I’m Marcos Placona, founder of DevRel Bridge, where I help startups and scaleups turn Developer Relations into a real growth engine. With over 20 years in software and leadership roles at companies like Twilio and Circle, I’ve seen first-hand how the right developer strategy can make or break adoption. Today I work as a fractional DevRel consultant, partnering with teams to build content engines, developer communities, and onboarding experiences that drive activation, retention, and revenue.

I’ve led launches that hit #1 Product of the Day and Top 3 Product of the Week on Product Hunt, scaled blogs and docs traffic by 50%+, and created programs that cut years off developer growth curves. Alongside consulting, I share insights on YouTube and LinkedIn, focusing on how startups can avoid vanity metrics and build meaningful connections with developers.

I’m passionate about helping founders and teams move faster, avoid common DevRel pitfalls, and grow with impact.
