Let’s take a look at Google’s innovation and how they do it.  They divide their efforts:

  • 70% on core products – search quality, crawl/indexing, AdWords, AdSense, Toolbar
  • 20% on emerging products – Blogger, Google Mini, Picasa, News, Pack

  • Break the mold
  • The right people
  • Small teams
  • Iteration & experiment
  • Bottoms-up ideas & projects

Business + Technical Product Management

My sweet spot is at the intersection between technology and business. I love to manage and develop products, market them, and deep dive into technical issues when needed. Leveraging strategic and creative thinking to problem solving is when I thrive. I have developed and marketed products for a variety of industries and companies, including manufacturing, eCommerce, retail, software, publishing, media, law, accounting, medical, construction, & marketing.
