About Mack Reed

A veteran, hands-on startup product strategist, with roots in award-winning deadline journalism and product design, and deep experience spanning government IT research, global-network community development, and innovative mobile game design. In my years building community for the National Science Foundation, designing UX and innovations for enterprise clients including Dell and Boeing, and more than a decade building early-stage technology startups from scratch, I have advocated relentlessly for The User. I am most at home ushering multidisciplinary teams through complex, interwoven milestones and facilitating collaborative synergy to reach ambitious C-suite goals amid pressing development deadlines.Recent work has included designing foundational user experience for a SAAS publishing platform, overseeing a complete brand overhaul for a seed-stage startup, and driving the road map of components and features for a multi-patented AI-powered video platform.I thrive on challenges, and I am always open to talk about new projects.
