Adam Young is a Director of Product Management and Design at Nisos. Colleagues describe him as "Adam is a real rare talent, an amazing product manager who brings energy and passion to his work and develops strong collaborative relationships with his teams. Adam is able to break down and articulate requirements that developers need to accomplish the job, as well as conveying the business value of the current projects/tasks/stories being worked on to ensure that engineers understand their contribution. I have been fortunate to work with Adam as a Test Engineer and learn so much from him. I give major credit to Adam for the very valuable things he taught me about product management and how importantly it aligns with Engineering teams in agile way. Adam understands the critical importance of maintaining a strong product offering, as well as the need to constantly grow revenue. His ability to sustain existing product lines while opening up new opportunities helped the company to become a leader in the industry. His knowledge of how to utilize the distribution channel to his advantage has also become one of the tools he uses to find success on a regular basis. Adam is extremely versatile and, from my personal experience, extremely driven as well. If your company is looking for a product manager that will maximize all potential revenue streams, Adam is the person you need to hire. I would strongly recommend Adam as your next product manager, and I would be more than happy to answer any questions you may have.", "Adam is an amazing product leader and a fantastic mentor. His vision on the product is nothing but exemplary. He is sharp as a whip. Given any kind of mess, he will grasp the bigger picture quicker than most people, see through the chaos, and emerge with solutions before others in the room have had the chance to understand what is going on. He makes you feel like you're doing great, and at the same time set higher expectations, thereby pushing you to strive for more. I would love to work with him anytime in the future.", and "I both worked with and coached Adam while serving as an Enterprise Agile coach for Asurion. I found Adam to be an outstanding Business Analyst and Story Author. While Adam is very detailed oriented; he has the unique propensity to keep an eye on the larger picture. Adam worked well with both collocated and distributed (domestically and global) business and technical groups. Adam, was new to the Agile philosophy when I joined, he latched on to the new ideas with exceptional enthusiasm and quickly became an Agile champion. He is in my opinion one of the rare individuals that truly understands the “Fail Fast, Learn Quickly” concept. Adam focuses on continuously trying to improve not only his skills, but the team dynamics and interaction. Adam, is truly someone who "gets" the Agile manifesto, I would not hesitate to work with Adam again in the future. In fact, I would go so far, to say, I would seek him out for any Agile or traditional IT project. Adam is a special talent, one that every manager seeks to find…"
