My track record speaks volumes: I specialize in implementing transformative practices that propel companies to new heights of success through innovative product strategies and effective team leadership. Key Skills: - Customer Understanding and Product Strategy: Expertise in using qualitative and quantitative research to uncover customer insights, identify unmet needs, and engage in product discovery to drive product strategy and new product innovation. - Organizational Change Management: Proven ability to establish product management practices that drive organizational change and foster growth. - Team Leadership and Mentoring: Skilled in leading product management teams, nurturing talent, and coaching product leaders to improve performance. - Product Development Lifecycle Optimization: Proficient in optimizing the product development lifecycle for maximum efficiency and impact. Throughout my career, I've led product management teams, established product management functions within companies, and provided strategic guidance as a product management analyst and advisor. My passion lies in leveraging product management as a catalyst for organizational growth. As a thought leader in the product management community, I actively contribute through speaking engagements, conferences, and podcasts, sharing insights and best practices to advance the field. Outside of work, I'm a dedicated husband and father (I have 3 kids, so their interests are my interests) and an enthusiast of CrossFit and personal finance. I'm also an avid pickleball player and coach (IPTPA and PPR certified). This is a personal account.
