About Jared Kimmel

I am a strategic product development leader focused on building high-performing teams and scalable portfolios that drive sustained growth. As Director of Product Management at Acuity Brands, I lead with a clear market perspective — aligning customer insight, competitive positioning, and operational execution to deliver measurable business outcomes.I view strategy as both a discipline and a responsibility. It requires defining direction, making principled trade-offs, and ensuring resources are deployed where they create the greatest long-term value. My focus extends beyond individual product initiatives to portfolio architecture, lifecycle optimization, and positioning the business for durable competitive advantage.Equally important, I believe performance starts with people. Strong teams, clear accountability, and a culture of trust are the foundation of effective execution. I am committed to developing leaders, fostering cross-functional alignment, and creating environments where individuals are empowered to think strategically and act decisively.My experience spans roadmap ownership, data-driven decision making, and translating complex market dynamics into actionable plans that strengthen both revenue performance and organizational capability.
