About Gretchen P.
I have 10+ years of industry experience in discovery and evaluative research for product innovation, and am internationally recognized for anthropological expertise in privacy, trust, and economic behavior.I translate social and technical complexity into actionable insights and technical requirements for emerging technologies, improving how people engage with workspace, enterprise software, and B2B(2C) platforms. My work drives Fortune 100 product strategy, with demonstrated impact in user efficiency and satisfaction, across diverse portfolios of physical, digital, and operational products.I design efficient research programs, and execute on my own or with a team, drawing on expert training in qualitative and quantitative methods to determine the right answers to hard questions quickly. My evidence-based insights inspire lightweight, innovative solutions for large organizations, removing people’s experience of friction in their everyday workflows and processes. Human behavior is noisy, I find the signal and make things easy.
