Experienced Product Management Professional & More...
I am a father to two incredible boys, partner to the most amazing woman in the world, a twin, Croatian by descent, Canadian at heart, and a passionate and relentless Product Manager focused on learning and growing in my craft. I'm also a tech nerd, love looking at the stars and watching Seinfeld and The Big Lebowski on repeat.
When it comes to my career, I feel like the more I do the less I really know. No matter what, I focus on the vision and outcomes and trust my drive to deliver results and create impact. It is incredibly
rewarding to be able to take a product from defining a problem to a successful release and ultimately customer feedback. This passion has been the foundation to over a decade
of product management experience - leading to numerous innovative products - combined with extensive entreprenurial, operations, business development, and communications experience.
