A Big Announcement!

July 6, 2010

For about the past two years, I have worked in the software-as-a-service team at Dell, managing a team of product managers. We’ve been plotting the strategy for Dell to make the transition from a hardware-based company to a mixed hardware/software/services company. It’s been a fun, challenging, rewarding role. Last week I accepted a new role, one that I am very excited to do and that will allow me to go out and hopefully meet more of you face-to-face.

Through involvement in events like ProductCamp, as well as mentoring and teaching product management in my own roles, I have learned that I enjoy and am good at the teaching side of the job. For that reason, I’m excited to announce that I will be joining the creators of the world’s most popular product management and marketing training: Pragmatic Marketing! I will be an instructor at Pragmatic Marketing, traveling the world helping product managers and marketers learn to be more effective. If you have been to one of their seminars, or have implemented their framework at your company, you know that their message of being market-driven and empowering product managers is absolutely essential for success.

I’ve always considered myself a startup kind of guy, and for the past two [...]

I spotted this the other day at work and had to snap a photo with my iPhone. How do you know you’ve given up?

For the Record

September 3, 2008

In case you’re just tuning in, I’ve recently changed jobs.  I now am running Product Management for several SaaS products for Dell.  Thankfully, Dell is more progressive on blogging than many other large companies.  They actually have a blog policy that makes sense, and as such I’m making this post to let you know that [...]
