Amy Wilson

I'm a user-centered product manager working at the intersection of communications and technology to solve complex challenges. My career's trademark is deconstructing problems and spurring inventive thinking into collaborative action.

I deliver innovative solutions that are valuable, usable, fit within a designated market and aligned to accomplishing client’s missions.
