Jordan Gladwin, PMP

I worked with Barry at USAN for 6 years on product development releases and customer account management. Barry is the best product owner I have worked with in my career. He has a unique skillset that allows him to work effectively between business and technical organizations. Barry has years of successful product delivery experience. He brings a practical and strategic approach to driving process improvement and delivering business value. He knows how to lead an organization and get the most out of those around him. In addition, Barry is extremely knowledgeable with AWS and call center solutions and is proficient with the agile/scrum methodology. I highly recommend Barry.

It’s rare that you get to work with someone as talented as Barry. I was fortunate to work closely with Barry at USAN for 6 years on multiple projects and product launches/releases. His knowledge, leadership, focus on critical path, and attention to detail were instrumental in the success of our team. His commitment and dedication have helped create a loyal and productive product team. I highly recommend Barry as a product leader.
