Bio
Erhun Arkan
Without Austin the product team would be a shadow of what it is today. He was an instrumental part in establishing proper product practices at Grow and led the development of many large and successful features from start to launch. His incredible authenticity, humility, and willingness to listen earned him the respect and trust of the engineering team. With Austin, the engineering team could always expect effective communication, well thought-out decisions, and a solid product vision. During the acquisition process, Austin was a frontline contributor who inspired confidence in the product and company through demos and presentations to key stakeholders. Whether as a team member, product manager or person, Austin has earned my highest recommendation and regard.
Austin B.
Austin's attention to detail with regards to product requirements and design made developing features a breeze. Austin is very receptive to feedback given from the team, and made great efforts to ensure that everyone's opinion was heard. Austin often went beyond expectations of what was required of him, and has delivered product experiences that "feel just right". Austin Wong is easily one of the best product owners I've had the pleasure of working with.
