Curtis Podzimek Howell is a Senior Director of Product Management at Nava Benefits. He possess expertise in java, javascript, software development, mobile devices, sql and 4 more skills. Colleagues describe him as "On a professional level-- I still remember what the Senior Lead Product Manager at Redfin said when I asked him what I could do to become a great PM: "Just watch Curtis. Watch everything that he does." I learned a tremendous amount from Curtis-- both quantitative skills required to improve conversions and qualitative skills required to lead cross-functional teams. Beyond the professional context, Curtis stays in my book as one of the most thoughtful people. He's the guy that will take on the work nobody wants to do. He doesn't do it for the credit or praise, rather because he's genuine and selfless. A small example is during our monthly breakfast celebrations, Curtis would be the first one in the kitchen helping out with preparation and the last one to eat. He's one of the rare breed of people that sparks positive energy all around. Both an incredible PM and person. Grateful to have learned from Curtis.", "I was very impressed by Curtis during the UW / Deloitte Case Competition. He delivered a strong presentation on mobile payments strategy and his team achieved a first place finish out of 24 teams.", and "Curtis was the CEO for Continuing Minds, a start up that we started with other classmates as part of the Create-a-Company class at the Foster School of Business. Curtis is a natural born entrepreneur. He constantly thinks of new ideas, new ways of looking at everyday problems. His curiosity and energy make him a very inspiring person to work around. He is also very organized, and extremely smart. I was very comfortable to be under Curtis' leadership and would gladly be under his leadership again. If you want someone with an entrepreneurial spirit, a desire for practical and effective solutions, and a great teammate, then I highly recommend Curtis."
