Bio
Thomas B. Krogh-Jacobsen
As part of my work leading Unitys release marketing efforts, I've been fortunate to team up with Charles as release manager on several betas and full releases. Charles has been a vital partner in tracking feature completion and risk assessment in the QA process for product marketing. On multiple occasions, Charles has demonstrated how he is willing to go that extra mile for the product and the community, volunteering to be part of expert panels with our Q&A and roadmap sessions. Charles has been a greatly appreciated colleague by both my team and me and a professional I can only highly recommend.
