How do you find the needle of Need in a wanton haystack of Want? ------------------------------------------------------------------Are you delivering cloud software that meets customer Wants or are you delivering solutions that meet the Needs they don't even know they have? ------------------------------------------------------------------If you're looking for a way to build upon the success of your organization, I've found the best path is to support high-performing teams via great agile culture and practices alongside a crystal clear goal. Through my 6+ years of experience enabling teams as a Senior Product Manager, I've found that teams that perform the best are founded upon trust, empathy, agency, and collaboration. When a team truly feels like they own the product and are a cohesive unit, amazing things can happen. One of my main hobbies is playing music -- orchestras, musical theater, down to recording on rock albums. One common thread between my professional career and music is seeing the whole while understanding the part. Having a consistent strategy that rolls up from individual teams all the way through the roadmap and product strategy is like a beautiful orchestration that builds upon itself; and also like music, is an act of constant negotiation. Music and Product Management both involve the two things that I enjoy the most -- working dynamically with people and constantly learning. If you'd like to learn more about just how much I love learning or how much I enjoy collaborative problem solving, then read on. ------------------------------------------------------------------Select Career highlights: • Delivered an extra-large, complex feature in half the amount of expected time.
