My site serves two purposes:
1. “Pay it forward” to others on a similar journey by sharing things that have helped me succeed.
2. Say “thanks” to my mentors, customers, and colleagues over the years. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The dark blue boxes are the bulk of my career experience (Product Management, Analytics, and New Product Development), and the light blue boxes are the transferrable skills that go into those roles. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A skill like Product Line Simplification is largely a product management function, where something like Market Segmentation is at times an analytical skill, but also feeds product management. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
