Brad McCartySenior Product Marketing ManagerFusionAuth

Brad McCarty leads Product Marketing Manager at FusionAuth, where he turns authentication challenges into competitive advantages for gaming studios. He's helped companies reduce player abandonment by 60% while actually improving security (yes, both are possible). Brad spends his time reverse-engineering how top studios handle identity, tracking authentication patterns across platforms, and explaining why your login flow is probably killing your game. Before FusionAuth, he built competitive intelligence and go-to-market strategies for B2B SaaS companies, with a focus on developer tools that actually work.
