About Erin Anacker

I steward mission-driven products that people want to use and feel good about themselves doing so.I\'m an experienced product leader and entrepreneur committed to work with positive social impact. As a founder of WholeStory, I took a product from concept to market launch, with thousands of users and dozens of customers, which we sold to Career Path Services. As the Principle Product Manager at a big data startup, I brought process maturity, discipline, and cross-functional communication to a growing team. As a Senior Technical Project Manager, I enabled cutting edge research in science, sustainable energy, and data science for the federal government. In all that I do, I hold the individual person in mind through the lens of diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging.For the next few months, I am taking intentional time away from traditional employment to write, travel, and explore business opportunities. ‍Specialties: Product Management | User Experience (UX) Design | Strategic Planning | Product Development | Product Roadmap | Product Analytics | Business Development | User Interface (UI) Design | Project Management | Operations Management | Process Optimization | Systems DesignProfile photo by Anthony Bolante
