I lead product development efforts… not because I am an engineer… but because I understand  1) customer needs, and 2) the organizational capabilities necessary to address those needs and pain points

​

I don’t build technology for technology’s sake or just because it can be done.  I build technologies that can profitably solve a pressing customer need.   Translating actual customer needs into product specs and designing an experience around those specs that enhances a customer’s life is where many product development efforts fail. 

​​

Similar to peer product development professionals, I write requirements documentation.  I lead sprints to build, test, and standup products.  I manage product backlogs and plan future releases.  I lead cross-functional teams to price, package, and position products for optimal growth and adoption too. 

​

However, wrapping product features that meet customer needs into user experiences that enhance customer lives, projecting these products onto a roadmap, and ensuring an organization has the short term and long term capabilities / strategic relationships to deliver that roadmap, is actually the secret sauce.  This is the unique skillset I have honed and leveraged for successful product development efforts.
