Darren Cody

Hi, I’m Darren Cody—a Product Leader with 10+ years of experience building and scaling digital marketplaces and SaaS products.

I’m the Co-Founder of Marketplace Studio, where I work hands-on with founders and product teams to design, launch, and grow scalable marketplace platforms. I specialize in turning complex product challenges into clear, evidence-based roadmaps—covering product strategy, go-to-market execution, UX optimization, and automation.

Previously, I’ve led initiatives that delivered measurable impact, including contributing to $4.8M in annual cost savings through operational and product automation at Ruckify. My background spans Product Management and Product Marketing, giving me a strong systems-level view of how products are built, positioned, and successfully adopted.

As a mentor, I focus on practical guidance—helping product managers and founders make better decisions faster, avoid common early-stage mistakes, and build products that create real value for both users and the business.

If you’re navigating product leadership, launching a marketplace, or leveling up your product thinking, I’d be happy to support you.
