Colleagues describe him as "It's hard to describe the quality of Jerry Knight. Saying that he is probably the best manager I have ever worked with is selling him short because while it's true it doesn't really describe why which is important. I have worked with Jerry when he he led Adobe Lighthouse group and was a client of mine and as a colleague at 80/20 and Square. Jerry is the only manager I haver ever worked with who really got design and product management to it's full extent. His intuition is second to none. He has a way of putting his fingers at the right problems and is uncompromising when it comes to secure the best possible product experience. He does so by applying what we lovingly called the tedious principle. It's basically a principle which take the position that creating the least amount of friction in any product decision is worth more than any designers attempt of creating something that might look cool from a design perspective but sucks from the users. He effortlessly does so whether doing a high profile consumer product or more complex B2B products. His abilities combined with his many years of experience has elevated him to a skill-set matched by very few people. Whether you would consider Jerry as an advisor, a board member, a vice president of product or as an investor you would most likely not make a wrong decision getting him on your team." and "Jerry and his team at 8020 are exceptional. They have the ability to dissect complex experiences to their simplest form and then create amazing user experiences to accomplish the goals of the business and satisfy the demanding needs of customers. I've worked with Jerry for 7 years and will continue to do so for years to come."
