The role of product manager in a small firm with an innovative medical device is a varied one. I am involved in marketing, online media, research activities, customer feedback, business reporting ... It's a great challenge and I learn something new every day. Some of my successes include deciphering a resonating marketing message that answers the problems of the target market, design and content for an effective website and e-newsletter and developing a forward-thinking product diversification strategy.
