Biography
I am passionate about making successful products and making product managers successful.
I've spent over a decade in the development of web-based products and services, with a particular emphasis on using deep understanding of unspoken customer and market needs to drive product success.
I also specialize in rapid diagnosis of product strategy and organizational issues which prevent successful market-focused product development, and then implementing turnaround strategies for short-term wins and long-term success.
I'm passionate about product management and product marketing -- explaining their value, showcasing examples of successes, and helping individuals and organizations improve related skills and capabilities.
