Yasser Abou-Nasr
To Whom it May Concern, It is my pleasure to strongly recommend Cory Anderson for a role as a Product Manager. As a department leader, I had the opportunity to work with Cory at Dwolla during a time of great experimentation in our Product function. Cory was the UX Engagement Product Manager, and led all initiatives pertaining to our dashboard. Cory drives impact as a product manager by quickly establishing deep rapport across a variety of stakeholders. When he was tasked with any initiative pertaining to his domain, Cory led with confident humility; he simultaneously kicked off quantitative market assessments and conducted empathetic 1:1 interviews with department heads and clients to ensure he captured their needs and priorities. He worked closely with his development team to provide clarity and direction through product delivery and launch. Cory’s thoughtful approach enabled him to grow the business and product usage around our dashboard. Cory pitches in on any challenge that faces the team with a positive, can-do attitude. He is the type of employee that only needs to be told the objective and will quickly execute to solve without guidance, and will frequently do independent research if a solution is not already in place. Cory Anderson’’s position was eliminated as a part of a reduction in force in early 2023. We made organizational changes to refocus on the essential areas of our business during a time of difficult macroeconomic headwinds. Cory is consistently a top performer, insanely smart with analytics, and a delight to be around. If you are in need of a self-starting, analytical addition to your Product department, I would encourage you to quickly engage Cory Anderson about your opportunity.

Cory is a Dwolla veteran that was one of those employees that left the business far better than he found it. We talk a lot about "passion" and owning our work, Cory exemplified these attributes and what it meant to be a driver in the business. Whether it was architecting our product led growth (PLG) strategy, or helping design and build the total user experience, he is proficient in agile methodologies and technical in how he creates value. While some employees just "punch the clock" and are satisfied with satisfactory work, Cory is a workhorse that is always 100% committed to success and execution. He is curious but open and humble, and he will lift others around him. Cory brings culture and energy, and will be a key member of your team!
