In my 20+ years of experience, I’ve
come to realize the importance of a
great, diversely educated team. A great
product team raises the banner for a
painstaking development effort to be
justified; for a PM’s business case to win
approval with stakeholders; for end
users to further commit and transact
with a product. I’ve been involved in all
of these endeavors and more, but not
without the support of other brilliant
team members. I love opportunities to
both learn and share my knowledge
with others.
