About
Hey I'm Derek. A product manager with a keen interest in building products that make a difference.
I have been involved both deep in the technical side of product development as well as the strategic side of product management. Through the last decade of building software and working with product teams, I have had a lot of experience around learning from customer needs, and aligning a team to execute the right vision.
I'm currently working on productmotion.com - a product management tool that helps your organization focus on building customer-centric products. The platform helps craft your product strategy by managing customer feedback, facilitating prioritization within your organization and getting your stakeholders aligned on a unified vision forward.
