About Brian G.

PMs are the ecologists of business, and as both I thrive on strategic vision, autonomy and decisive action. My work matters, my products matter, because people matter. My greatest professional accomplishment materialized because I listened and I challenged decades of dogma. It took years of honing skills, listening, and redefining thought leadership. As PM I lead product teams through bold, unconventional, and collaborative launches, increasing revenue and revolutionizing our market space through innovate product creation. Where success is measured by the bottom line, I bring creativity to solving puzzles, often generating droves of concepts, and connect people with solutions through emotion.Using humor and humility, I am currently directing business operations for a public health informatics startup. Responsible for Marketing, Product, Business Development and Operations teams, I form and deliver on business strategy and functional metrics in the highly evolving and booming public health cloud data exchange sector.Prior to my current role, I managed 6 brands under 3 industrial market & application spaces, launched a half dozen products over four years, and balanced another half dozen through new product development at any given time. Previously, I managed 12 product lines and 5 major product launches. A cornerstone launch was selected as a 2016 R&D 100 Awards Finalist for innovation. As a LEED Green Assoc. and a member of the regulatory committee for biosafety hoods, I ID\'ed a pattern of neglect within the laboratory construction industry. The Purifier Axiom was borne out of a necessity for increased flexibility and safety, we found it also brought greater sustainability for science.Achieving the rank of Eagle in the B.S.A, being an avid sportsman and a general love for the outdoors took me to Truman State University (Summa Cum Laude) to study Biology (Ecology & Evolutionary Theory). I have parlayed my skills in observation, analysis, situational and self-awareness into a thrilling career as a strategic product professional. Whom better to trust with competitive analysis, market channels, pricing guardrails, market share, VoC and (insert marketing jargon here…) than one who grasps game theory & ecological carrying capacity. Specialties: leadership | product | content marketing | strategy | B2B | pricing | distribution models | unconventional thought | nontraditional point of view | humor | entrepreneurial spirit | strategy | innovation | team-building | creativity | decisive action | inspiration | emotional connection | sustainability
