Corey Ercanbrack, CPTO at Vasion on Scaling Engineering, AI Agents & Building Product That Works

In this episode of Software Leaders Uncensored, Steve Taplin sits down with Corey Ercanbrack, Chief Product & Technology Officer at Vasion, to unpack his 30-year journey from Intel → Landesk → InsideSales → Vasion. Corey explains how he scaled Vasion from 3 engineers to 150+, transitioned from on-prem to a cloud-native SaaS platform, and unified product + engineering under the CPTO role. He breaks down the realities of remote-first engineering, why nearshore LATAM talent is a game changer, and how AI agents will redefine print automation, document workflows, and the future of UI. Corey also shares candid lessons on acquisitions, leadership, engineering culture, and the race to upskill teams for the AI era.
