“As early as my first interview with iMerit, I knew I had to work with Glen. It is rare that one comes across an inspiring and inclusive leader with excellent product instincts who leads with empathy. Glen possesses an effective blend of technical and interpersonal skills that enable him to build and grow an effective product team in challenging and ambiguous circumstances. He is a skilled collaborator who inspires and motivates others to work together and achieve more collectively. I admire his ability to weave the diverse needs and requirements of many stakeholders into a feasible and cohesive product vision, then bring together both product managers and engineers to execute. Glen is a strong advocate for design, which led him to hire the first iMerit designer to work together to establish iMerit's DesignOps. He realizes that well-designed products and services stand out from the competition and provide a valuable source of differentiation and a superior user experience. Glen is a thoughtful leader who puts people first. To work alongside Glen is a guaranteed growth opportunity. I couldn't recommend a more empowering and empathetic partner to collaborate with. I’m so grateful for his mentorship and to learn from his process and expertise.”

So cool! I love the fact that such a classic, nerdy concept like a “Game Master” played a pivotal component in this breakthrough.
