He possess expertise in software product management, software project management, software as a service, agile methodologies, scrum and 5 more skills. Colleagues describe him as "Julien has been one of the most multi-faceted and fun leaders I have worked for. He is a wealth of knowledge, is extremely quick to learn and is a great teacher. He empowers his employees to be autonomous, make the right decisions, and pivot when things aren't working. He challenged me daily as a Product Manager to think about solving customer problems and customer impact, be innovative, and overall change how I think about the Product Management world. I truly enjoyed working as a team on everything we did together and would be happy to work with him again.", "If I were starting a company right now, Julien is the first guy I'd hire. Because he can do virtually anything. He joined our company as a child (okay, I exaggerate). All we knew was that he was smart and eager. But in the twelve years he was with MediaPRO, he did it all: he ran our LMS, learned project management and ran internal and client projects, architected and built our first phishing platform, taught himself product management, and then served as both a product management and engineering leader during a time of rapid growth and expansion into the SaaS Cybersecurity market. I don't know many people who are this skilled and this versatile who aren't also insufferable jerks, but Julien pulls it off. He's a pleasure to work with and a great collaborator.", and "I have had the opportunity to work with Julien since 2009 when he started as a Tier III support engineer/developer, thru various career advancements, until his ascent to VP of Engineering. During much of this time, he was the primary liaison between the technical team and many business unit leaders. He is a problem solver, a creative thinker, and one whom I could rely on to get things done and get them done right. Julien was instrumental in helping MediaPRO transition to be a successful SaaS-based business and bring several new products to market. He has the unique ability to understand the business needs and requirements and align those with the proper technical solutions. Julien worked closely with others on the senior leadership team to create product roadmaps with set realistic milestones and goals. His teams were very productive and met or exceeded their delivery milestones in most every instance. Julien introduced the Agile methodology into MediaPRO and worked with both the developers and the business unit leaders to understand and embrace the process. This was critical for us to mature our development methodology and get a communication process and tools in place to increase our velocity and ensure we were delivering the right product to meet our customer's business needs. Julien excels at working directly with customers as well as collaborating with various internal stakeholders. I have found him to be tenacious, hardworking, a quick study, and just a very pleasant person to work with. MediaPRO could not have enjoyed much of its success without Julien’s direct contributions. I do not hesitate in recommending him for any business-technical liaison, product management, or engineering role he seeks. He has held all these roles while at MediaPRO and has never failed to deliver excellent results."
