Product Manager
I build and lead teams to solve the most important problems with technology.
My primary role is to bring direction to the team. I evaluate the problems we need to work on and decide who should be working on them. These could be customer, technical, or infrastructure problems. I also help team members make the best out of their day by being efficient and happy. It’s also my responsibility to make sure our products fit into the rest of the company and the outside world. My days involve a lot of meetings and thoughtful thinking to connect dots within the company.
