Welcome!
I'm a Digital Product Manager with experience in:
► Business Analyst and Data Analyst
► Discovery and User Research
► Project Manager, Product Owner
I believe in building positive teams - teams that Empower, Engage, and Energize.
I bring value to your team in 3 different ways:
First, I bring to the table a unique set of experiences that gives me a perspective that’s rare in the talent market.
I’ve worked in:
- Software Agencies (Delivery)
- Startups (Innovation, Speed, Agility)
- Enterprise and Government (Ambiguity, Complexity)
Second, I'm drawn to building digital products and solving problems that inspire me and keeps me up at night. And to experiencing culture shock - the kind that you get when you travel the furthest from where you are and from what you are used to.
It's what happens when you:
► Move from the West Coast to the East Coast of Canada
► Attend Burning Man
► Decide to live in Nunavut for 2 years
► Move 12,000km to the most exotic, culturally diverse country in the world - India.
Diversity of values allows us to build a sense of community and gain new knowledge through iteration and reflective analysis.
► How can we look at stakeholders in a way where we see value?
► How do we surface values that people didn't see before?
► How do we be disruptive but not destructive?
Third, People and Culture matter.
I blend digital strategy with human centered change management. My experience has shown me digital transformation is, at its core, organizational transformation.
Digital transformation won't succeed unless the organization transforms with it.
I’ve witnessed transformations executed well and others that struggled.
My experiences enable me to understand the diversity of stakeholders in a complex adaptive system which helps me to understand deeply the other player's perspectives, goals, and objectives.
“I bring everything that I've learned to everything that I pursue”
Understanding how each player fits together in a larger, networked system enables us to leverage each party so that the whole is greater than the sum of its parts.
