Senior Product Manager
Geofields
As senior product manager for the risk and integrity software, I was in charge of industry research, software implementations, software development and technical support for the risk and integrity application suite. Primary, I conducted risk workshops that included a review of their historical model, a discussion of industry best practices, and recommendations for moving forward with the risk analysis. Client requirements varied greatly, some operators requiring a complete risk assessment plan to be built while others applied an existing risk algorithm to benefit with a superior risk assessment technology. I successfully implemented risk models at over 7 large transmission operators. After every risk model implementation, detailed documentation was prepared defining all modeling requirements and exhaustive risk model testing. My general duties included; responding to RFPs, researching market trends, conducting risk and integrity workshops, presentations at industry tradeshows, creating product road maps, defining functional requirements, quality assurance testing, writing documentation, designing prototype UI interfaces, performing training, and serving as technical support for all GeoFields products. I regularly met with clients and potential customers to gain market evidence to prioritize the enhancements in future releases of the software. I performed in depth software demonstrations to top Fortune 500 companies and attended tradeshows as a sales engineer. I created product roadmaps and developed corporate strategy with the executive and sales staff. I reported directly to the CEO and executive vice president. I traveled extensively, domestically and internationally, for software demonstrations, requirements gathering and discussions of industry trends. I standardized training of all software to increase the effectiveness of training classes and cut labor/preparation costs. I developed prototype user interface designs.
