I am Giannis, a seasoned Product Manager with over 10 years of experience in the design, development, and management of web and mobile applications. My educational background encompasses Computer Science, Business Administration, Marketing, and Neuro-Linguistic Programming, equipping me with a unique blend of technical and business acumen.I am deeply passionate about problem-solving, particularly in collaborative environments with diverse talents. Finding elegant solutions that balance customer needs, technology, and business objectives is where I excel and find great fulfillment.My approach to Product Management extends beyond the traditional realms, embracing the often overlooked, 'softer' aspects. I believe in broadening the scope of conversations to include more than just stakeholder management. - Identifying the core set of stakeholders across multiple business functions, and leading with influence rather than direct authority.- Being prepared to “soft lead” the team by bringing a sense of purpose and mission to everyday work.- Demonstrating expertise in multi-faceted negotiations that require complex tradeoffs.- Exhibiting strong verbal and written communication skills; able to think on my feet when necessary.- Possessing high emotional intelligence and self-awareness; able to identify potential roadblocks or team issues, and work with people managers as needed to move the ball forward.- Demonstrating grit: ability to persist and overcome challenges with a sense of conviction, even if missing tangible signs of traction.- Being self-motivated: set priorities and measure progress even without a clear directive.
