 About JD

First of all, thank you for your time, I understand that you're busy that's why I appreciate your presence here immensely. Let's go!

The work starts with creating a partnership with like-minded individuals who are solving problems in important spaces. Startup founders, business managers, and CEOs,  I always aim to build lasting professional relationships with them.

(Now, here's a dog emoji to make it less serious 🐶.)

My approach to product development. For me, the role of the Product Manager changes depending on the current stage of the company and the product.

For startups, the role entails a lot of risk-taking and experimentation in order to gather customer data fast.

When it comes to the growth stage, the role needs the PM to analyze the trends and identify channels, adjacent marketing channels, and new enhancements to be built on top of the current strengths of the product.

For scale, the role revolves around optimization. Making things work smoother while finding avenues to cut inefficiencies and costs.

Beyond product a.k.a. the important part.  PMs have an overview and are working directly with the different areas of development, business, technology, and customers. Having those communication lines puts us in a crucial position to provide everyone with a positive, fun, and inspiring work environment. We should be the ones putting mental health and psychological safety forward, especially during difficult times. 
 
Lastly, pardon the cliche, but it is and has always been about trying to make the world a slightly better place.

What do you think? Hope you're having a great day so far.
