About Darryl M.

I am a product management leader with a proven track record of leading product teams and delivering features and solutions that drive impact across organizations, reduce tech debt, and improve quality, performance, and scale, all while supporting engineering initiatives and having fun on a daily basis. I have broad product management experience in API integrations, developer experience, software distribution, and infrastructure. I also hold expert-level certifications in Microsoft technologies as well as associate level with AWS and Google.In my current role I lead a team of PMs responsible for the platform (UI and API) experience with integrated vendors like Microsoft and Adobe. I\'m also directly responsible for the product catalog and distribution experience at AppDirect, directly supporting ISV integrations and AppDirect\'s Provider Onboarding team.In addition to my product experience I have nearly 20 years of IT administration and consulting experience specifically within the cloud-based productivity and infrastructure management and resale space.I occasionally consult on VMware, Microsoft Exchange, and other small business needs locally and am a big proponent of open-source, privacy-conscious, socially responsible, and environmentally sustainable companies and technologies.Outside of work, I like to be outdoors as often possible - working in my yard or tinkering with mechanical things, visiting the North Carolina mountains and coast, and spending time with my family and friends.

Experience

1. Director of Product Management, Distribution

   AppDirect

   May 2024 — Present · Raleigh, NC, US

   I lead a team of Product Managers responsible for distribution capabilities on the AppDirect platform. Distribution is critical to the AppDirect ecosystem, and my teams are responsible for product creation and lifecycle management via UI and API as well as API integration and UI experiences for key vendors like Microsoft, Adobe, Amazon, and Google. I picked up in this role essentially where I left off in 2022 by re-establishing a vision and roadmap for productivity, infrastructure-as-a-service, and domain integration on the AppDirect platform. In this role, I work closely with product and executive leadership to ensure my team\'s roadmap and delivery support the business and our customers.
