Experience

ELECTRIC ⚡️

• Manufacturing
• 200 - 300 Employee

• Senior Director of Product

  • Nov 2020 - Present

  After spending 14 years at ELECTRIC, I could not be more stoked to be getting back into a company that helped shape much of my design expertise. After a 4 years in the wild, 1 with my own firm, and just shy of 3 with VonZipper, I feel I have gained additional experience being on my own, that further enhance my skills moving forward. Some key areas I will be focusing in: To set the long-term vision and strategy for all ELECTRIC products moving forward. Own from concept, to design, sample production, testing, forecast, cost, mass production, promotion, support, and finally product end of life. Deliver the operating plan: the achievement of growth objectives including market share, revenue, profit, and return on investment for all the channels/categories of business and/or key customers. Responsible for managing and implementing marketing activities hand in hand with group through research, strategic planning, and implementation. As a Senior Product Director, I will act as a central hub within ELECTRIC for a lot of critical information about our products, market, competitors, customers, prospects, key industry analysts, and many other constituencies. Finally, I must communicate this strategy to all of the relevant participants and stakeholders ensuring the companies objectives are being met across all facets of the business. Communication and a clear vision with distinct design direction is essential to our success. Onward and upward. Show less
