After 13+ years in product management following about the same as an engineer, and with the help of LLMs, I have now become a founder and programmer building ML-powered automation for the construction industry… and soon, other “old school” industries in need of AI.
You are of course welcome to browse this nostalgia site. Some of the writing might be fun!
Charting my greatest hits from 13 years of product management, including 7+ in AI & ML.
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. He is a skilled collaborator who inspires and motivates others to work together and achieve more collectively.
Glen is a strong advocate for design… he realizes that well-designed products and services stand out from the competition and provide a valuable source of differentiation. I couldn't recommend a more empowering and empathetic partner to collaborate with.
Glen was my first boss in a product management position, and to say I wouldn't be where I am today without him would be an understatement. He excelled at imparting his knowledge on those around him and then empowering them to do their job so that they could grow and flourish.
In the 5+ years that we worked together, I was privileged to witness Glen's awesome ascent through engineering and product. Wicked smart, funny, collaborative and driven, Glen made a big impact on our organization in numerous ways.
Glen and I worked together through several different roles at Pluck/Demand Media. Glen is thorough and creative, and brings a sense of service to the customers he interacts with, the products that he manages, and the team that he collaborates with.
His ability to listen to feedback, and communicate ideas with humor and humility, was inspiring and I'm so thankful for having had the opportunity to learn as much as I did from him in our 4 years working together.
Glen is an innovative and proven product leader. He was instrumental in helping further define customer requirements and best identify effective solutions to fit the business needs of each using the Demand Media/Pluck platform. In addition, Glen has an impressive understanding of the software development space, combined with great interpersonal and technical skills (read: geek!). Glen was a valuable asset to the Customer Success team in both helping with unique product requests, as well as effectively integrating feedback into future product releases.
Over our 7 years of working together, I was able to watch his leadership skills and work ethic first hand. Glen is an in-the-trenches Product-guy. He is passionate and pours his blood/sweat/tears into his team and solutions.
