Product manager, growth-hacker, & innovative software development leader at Civis Analytics in Chicago. I am a software-delivery geek, keynote-speaker, collaboration master, agile project manager, product planning, growth-hacking, technology strategist, digital implementation guy, and futurist. I help software teams change the world.

I have passionately led software product management teams, product development teams, and product growth teams for some of the world's most ubiquitous software. When you log bugs in JIRA, the world's most powerful issue tracker, check out at the grocery store, search for a job on the internet, or play interactive promotions like McDonald’s Monopoly, you’re probably using software that I helped make for you. My newest adventure is with Civis Analytics helping to democratize data science so that teams can make great, data-driven decisions easily.

In my spare time, I speak at conferences on Data Science, Agile, DevOps, Growth Hacking, and Software Delivery. This is my third time as a speaker at South by Southwest (SXSW). Additionally, I am working on writing a book on emerging technologies and their impact on work.
