SKILLS
ABOUT JEAN DUCROT
I\'m a technologist, USAF veteran, and MBA candidate who has spent 25 years building software and the last several making sure it works for everyone.My career started in the Air Force, where I developed enterprise and government systems. From there, I moved into full-stack software development, working across front-end and back-end stacks for over two decades before specializing in digital accessibility. Today, as a Senior Accessibility Specialist at Elsevier, I drive cross-functional partnerships between product, design, and engineering to embed inclusive practices into products used by millions of researchers and clinicians worldwide.What sets me apart is the combination of deep technical roots, accessibility expertise, and growing business acumen. I hold a CPWA (CPACC + WAS) from IAAP and a Graduate Certificate in UX Design from Cornell. I\'m currently completing an MBA in Entrepreneurship with a focus on Business Analytics at Syracuse University, sharpening my ability to connect product and technology decisions to measurable business outcomes like customer acquisition, retention, and revenue growth.I\'ve led initiatives that go beyond compliance: building accessibility into supplier contracts and procurement, creating scalable audit and remediation frameworks, and mentoring teams on how to treat accessibility as a product quality lever rather than a checkbox. I won a Pearson Hackathon in the Accessibility category by demonstrating how inclusive design drives user engagement.I\'m passionate about the intersection of technology, user experience, and business strategy. Whether it\'s defining product requirements, managing cross-functional programs, analyzing data to inform decisions, or scaling operational processes, I bring a rare blend of technical depth and strategic thinking.Open to opportunities in product management, technical program management, accessibility strategy, digital experience, and product operations.Let\'s connect — I\'m always up for a conversation about building better products.
