Hi, I'm Renee Wall!
I'm a Staff Technical Program Manager with 10+ years of experience delivering technology that impacts millions of users.
I lead complex, global programs across cloud software, generative AI, and consumer hardware, cutting through ambiguity, getting ahead of risk, and empowering teams with AI-native operations.
At Meta, I drove 0-to-1 products, including Meta's first FDA-cleared over-the-counter hearing aid feature, the Meta AI app, and AI-powered, hands-free technology for blind and low-vision users. At Expedia, I led the company-wide move to a progressive web app, migrating 70% of core business lines in year one, and partnered with UX to redefine how travelers plan and book trips. During the pandemic, I led a tiger team that cut out-of-date travel guidance by 95%, keeping information accurate during an unprecedented period.
My path into tech started in art. I began as a 2D/3D artist in the video game industry, working at startups to ship 40+ casual and educational titles, and later moved into a leadership role, where I provided art direction, planned deliverables, managed capacity, and developed new ways of working. From there, I embraced my technical side, first as a software engineer and then as a TPM. My background as an engineer and visual artist, combined with an ownership mindset, helps me resolve technical blockers, build strong cross-functional relationships, and help teams ship.
I've worn many hats, but the same themes run through all of them: making sense out of chaos, motivating people toward shared goals, and being a reliable leader. I lead with empathy, honesty, and a bias for action, and I thrive on turning complex problems into real outcomes.
