I'm a curious and ambitious person with a strong belief in technology's potential to effect meaningful societal change at unprecedented scale. I've spent half a decade engaging in a range of technology topics at Google, Nest, YouTube, Facebook and Tesla, but I'm excited by innovation being driven all across the tech industry – especially by scrappy startups and challengers.I'm a systems thinker with wide exposure to business and technical challenges and an appetite for learning. As an undergrad at Northwestern, I took on 11 internships to gain my uniquely diverse vantage point, and I’ve continued to prioritize breadth of experience in my career.My teams would describe me as a product manager who can speak the language of engineering, ops, design, policy and product marketing – thanks in large part to that breadth of experience. Ultimately my top focus is on creating products and experiences that make ̶u̶s̶e̶r̶s̶'̶ people's days better.

I take a highly structured approach to coaching and share honest, direct feedback – because coaching is about challenging you and accelerating your growth, not making you feel good so I can collect a check.I enjoy coaching people from a huge range of backgrounds, but I specialize in coaching folks from lower-income families like my own, LGBTQ+ candidates, and those from unconventional backgrounds trying to thrive in tech. ✦ I do free exploration calls with anyone who's curious about coaching – book at bit.ly/coaching-with-connor ✦ -

Teaching Team, The Future Of Cities: Entrepreneurship, Policy & Business StrategyStanford University 2023 - 2023Stanford, Ca, UsCities are where billions of people live and are engines for innovation and economic growth. They are also going through enormous change and battling with fundamental issues related to housing, transportation, urban planning, the environment, safety, transparency and more. Innovation offers the promise of exciting solutions. But for that change to happen, it must serve the interests of the people who live in cities and overcome the challenges of politics and policymaking. Our course focuses on this intersection. We analyze cities as a distinct phenomenon, look at what is possible technologically, and explore how change can be brought about.
