About

🧔🏻 For short, they call me Joe G. I work as a senior digital product manager, owner, strategist. I also like presenting and writing.🧭 My product style is user-first, LEAN, iterative, always-shippable, data-informed (not data-driven), anti-fragile, pro-transparency, anti-feature factory, clear and concise communication, and early expectation setting.🧰 I have skills in MVPs, experiments, UX research, agile, scrum, kanban, shapeup (my preference), pods, and (regrettably) waterfall. I interface well with technical teams, legal folks, and strong-willed executives.🛠 My favorite product activity is scope hammering. Second is forced priority ranking.🙌 I do collaborative whiteboarding, sticky notes, user flows, wireframes, and jira. When it comes to working with fellow developers and designers, I know my way around html, css, javascript, github, (did a developer bootcamp), sketch, invision, miro, XD, and figma.🍕 Big fan of the two-pizza team.💙 I consider myself a servant leader. I have managed other product managers and business analysts. I also support fellow team member "hearts and minds" through soft skills like active listening, empathy, alignment, transparency, and advocacy.💻 My usual projects include web and native mobile apps for blockchain, cryptocurrency, finance, fiat banking, identity, IoT, telematics, and maps.🌿 Lately, I am personally interested in sustainable, eco-friendly, mindful, and human products, especially those that empower creatives and independents.🎨 Outside my remote day job, I like painting.

Products

I helped build these products
using a collaborative and iterative approach
The best products perform a single task well
celebrate things not done
and eliminate choices
