Strategic Product Design Executive Moving to Senior IC Focus

I’m a digital product design professional with 18+ years of experience in research-informed business strategy, design leadership, and hands-on IC work. I collaborate with C-level business leaders, initiative sponsors, technical stakeholders, and cross-functional teams. I assist in developing processes to enable product teams to envision and implement innovative, marketable, and profitable solutions that align business goals with desired customer and user outcomes.

I have a track record of facilitating communication, shared understanding, and translating vision into execution across leadership, decision-makers, stakeholders, and the broader team. I’m a lateral thinker who can help accelerate rapid innovation, pragmatic project planning, go-to-market strategy, and shipping products that customers love, on time and within budget constraints.

Objective

I am currently working as an independent consultant and seek a full-time role as a hands-on Senior Individual Contributor where I can offer my expertise in strategy and new product development. My cross-industry B2B and B2C experience brings a unique perspective to complex business challenges.

I have worked as a director, vice president, and people manager, but I have always stayed close to the work. The market is moving in a direction where a veteran IC can best respond to the rapidly changing technology landscape by performing as the glue that holds teams together. It’s still managing and mentoring, but it’s leadership by doing, not an org chart. Let’s discuss your needs!
