Andrew Joel Email & Phone Number

I’m a customer-focused product leader with more than seventeen years of experience across the private, NGO and government sectors.I have developed and launched multiple consumer-facing digital products for web and mobile, including the award-winning Drive Go mobile app and drive.govt.nz website. Most recently, I've been helping companies large and small develop and apply sound product strategy through my role at PaperKite.A natural collaborator, I get the best out of cross-functional teams, making the most of everyone's collective genius to solve the gnarly problems that have to be tackled to make a successful product. I have held leadership roles, including senior leadership, leading through influence as well as through direct reports. I have expertise in product discovery, strategy, development, and management as well as user and market research. Making a product needs more than just good product knowledge though, and I have a broad range of other skills to bring to a team, including stakeholder relationship management, social marketing and behaviour change, project management, content writing, procurement and contract management, recruitment and interviewing, and research and analysis, among others. I thrive on variety and set myself high standards.As someone who is perennially curious, I delight in the varied challenges of building enduring, successful products that solve customer problems while delivering business value.Outside of striving for mastery in all areas of product leadership, I'm a keen runner, tramper and cyclist (only because my body doesn't let me run as much as I'd like), father and volunteer netball coach.

Listed skills include Government, Program Management, Public Speaking, Public Sector, and 19 others.
