Product.  Delivery.  Innovation.

 

 

Work hard

I'm a product manager with 11+ years of end-to-end product experience, and 10 years of experience as a software developer. I use my technical and business development backgrounds throughout every project to discover what's technologically feasible, what makes business sense, and where the two intersect.

My core competencies are in:

Product

0-to-1 and established products alike. Some highlights include:

• Saving 1000+ person-hours monthly and delighting customers
• Expanding the total addressable market of a marketing tool by 230 million people
• Validating the offering of a clean-tech product
• Streamlining the workflows of an M&A firm

Delivery

I've done product delivery management for 2+ years. Some highlights include:

• Implementing predictable support / service level agreements
• Bringing my project's backlog from ~1000 down to ~100
• Increasing the velocity of my team by 60% over 9 months

Innovation

I follow a Lean Startup framework for innovation. In addition to my work under Product, highlights include:

• Reducing person-hours by 95% for production of life casts
• Salvaging an LA Live event
• Creating a $6 electronics tinker kit

 

Play hard

My favorite hobby is building things with wood, metal, 3D prints, electronics and code.

I promote STEAM education at events, and occasionally in classrooms.

I am a periodic Toastmaster, a solid live storyteller, and I put some of my stories on my newsletter: Shaun's Story Time.

Until some hip problems and life choices, I was an ultrarunner and endurance athlete, and I still immensely enjoy the outdoors.

I am a cooking tech wonk.

When I have rare quiet time, I enjoy reading the GatesNotes books.
