Summary
11 years of experience in enterprise software, 9 as a product manager across a variety of domains:: - IAM (Identity and Access Management) - Ad tech/Mar tech landscape (RTB/programmatic) - InfoSec and GRC (Governance, Risk, and Compliance) - Health IT - EHR/EMR (Electronic Health Records) and Telemedicine I like building clever solutions for customers, and it's important to me that I'm shipping software that my team can be proud of. I also really enjoy working with cutting edge tech, frameworks and processes. Rapid org and strategy changes don't bother me or stress me out, as long as we're moving forward. Because I'm a CSM/Sales guy turned PM, I'm the type of PM who is passionate about UX Research and Customer Success, and y'know, actually holding your org accountable for promises and statements. I spent a lot of my early PM career building up my technical chops, which consisted of a lot of partnering with QA/test engineering, release management, and standing in as scrum master. Currently Im focused on transforming companies into API and platform first orgs through delightful developer experiences.
