How do I approach Product?
My approach to product management prioritizes discourse and conversation over top-down leadership to make space for the tension filled conversations necessary for driving results.
By tailoring frameworks and tactics to suit each organization’s unique dynamics, Adam offers a sustainable approach to product strategy and operations. He teaches teams to utilize data-driven storytelling to advocate for customers and build products that serve them. His approach has helped teams build unwavering trust—in their data, their processes, and each other—while increasing employee retention and continuously driving the product outcomes stakeholders desire.
