Bio
Nestor Cano Sostre
Hansen was my manager at LotusFlare. He led our team with both empathy and a focus on results. He would rally the team around a clear vision and strategy while still giving me plenty of room to grow and step into new responsibilities. Hansens true strength was leveraging his market experience, and understanding of the customer/data insights into actionable strategies that steered out product's success. And whenever I needed support he was always available to answer my questions. I truly enjoyed and grew from my time under Hansen's mentorship.
Jesse Lim
Hansen was the product intern on the team I led at realtor.com in 2018. Despite being his first product role, Hansen had a penchant for grasping things quickly, which combined well with his passion for building great products. At the conclusion of his internship, he has demonstrated several traits of a strong PM: strong user empathy, intellectual curiosity, communication/collaboration and problem solving. I am confident he will be a great asset to a strong product team.
