S11 Bonus: The Modern Playbook for Pioneering 'Feature Flags as a Measurement Layer' with Trevor Stuart, Co-Founder of Split & GM/SVP of Feature Management at Harness

Aug 7, 2025 · Season 11 · 27 min

The best of the best in feature flagging joins Harness

Trevor Stuart was born in Florida, but raised in Seattle. He was the son of a tech CFO and an Episcopalian minister - so he learned life at many different angles. He graduated from Boston College, and went into investment banking at Morgan Stanley. Beyond that, he worked at RelateIQ prior to being acquired by Salesforce, which then led him to start his own thing. Outside of tech, he's married and expecting his first child soon. He lives in Sonoma, and loves wine - which type depends on his mood and the time of year.

At RelateIQ, Trevor and his team had a core problem - pushing more code, and looking to move faster, but limiting the amount of quality issues. His co-founder built the early workings of a system he had seen at LinkedIn, around gate keeping features. Eventually, post acquisition of this company, they decided to start building this solution on their own... which led them toward their own acquisition.

This is the creation story of Split andHarness.
