About Erin Caton

I am a seasoned project and product manager with just over two decades of experience in web and software UX design, search engine optimization, content management, backend, and marketing. I have worked on notable products such as .Mac, .Me and iCloud as a senior engineering project manager at Apple Inc, and managed website builds for EA Games and Nintendo while employed with Blast Radius Digital Marketing. A pioneer in the app industry, I managed the first iPad app for Ebay and for NPR while working for Strobe Inc, a start up that was then acquired by Facebook (now Meta.)With an eclectic web background that includes online comics and animation through to running international teams for heavily used online games, I have a proven track record of building successful projects that meet the needs, and exceed the expectations of my clients. Including my community building experience in the accessibility space, I have created knowledge management spaces and helped improve access through advocacy. Having worked across a range of industries including government, film, television, gaming, advertising and software, I have used a wide array of process and tools, each with their own strengths and weaknesses. My personal philosophy on management is to individually tailor process, communication and tracking per product/project, just as you would want someone to treat you as an individual while working on a team. I love people and figuring out what motivates them to build great products and achieve fantastic things. I feel very strongly that proper communication and a little empathy goes a long way in getting teams to create great works.

    Senior Product Manager
    Strobe Inc. Sep 2010 - Aug 2011
    As is the start-up way, I did a huge variety of tasks that were not product management specific while at Strobe, because I was one of the first 5 employees. This included doing HR, getting Visas, and running the customer service team who supported our server based business. As we grew to about 25 employees (local and remote) in under a year, I got to experience the extreme growing pains of success, which required a lot of reaction from the management level to maintain and still create our products. We had a partial agency model to fund our internal products, so I managed the builds of the eBay and NPR iPad apps as well as portions of the TIME iPhone app. Internally, I product managed an app based magazine builder that took advantage of Sproutcore technology (now ember.js). I also product designed a fully featured to-do app. But as the company was bought by Facebook shortly after I left, the internal products are not publicly viewable.
