Drew Barontini

I started my career in graphic design, moved into software engineering, and expanded into product strategy and organizational leadership. Each discipline became another layer in how I understand and shape products, systems, and ideas.

For nearly 20 years…

• I’ve built products across education, manufacturing, aviation, and scientific research.
• I’ve worked inside consultancies, startups, acquired companies, and large organizations.
• I’ve led design, engineering, and cross-functional product teams.
• I’ve built B2B, B2C, and internal products from scratch and scaled existing ones.
• I’ve remained close to the craft—shaping, designing, building, creating systems.

I believe that…

1. Clarity is cultivated, not found. Clarity emerges from an intentional process of transformation built on a deliberate structure, reflection, and iteration.
2. Systems shape outcomes. The tools, processes, and emergent environments we create determine how people think, decide, and act.
3. Principles create leverage. Principles are transferable knowledge that applies across domains, anchors focus, guides tradeoffs, and unlocks creativity.

Right now...

I’m VP of Product at Research Solutions, where I lead the team building Scite. Outside my organizational work, I develop ideas through my writing and two living systems: Claritorium, for cultivating clarity, and Equilio, for building exceptional products.
