About Joseph Egan

I was the child who was told, “You ask too many questions!”. Being very curious, I was always asking why we have to do things a certain way? or how does that work? I was the one taking apart calculators, teaching myself to code and in general, learning to break things. It is how I have learned throughout my life. Today I am still “breaking” things but with a purpose. The purpose to fail fast and learn faster. Business success is not driven by assumptions but through validating your beliefs and learning to do it better. “The only way to win is to learn faster than anyone else.” ― Eric RiesThroughout my career I have worn many hats, from coder to CEO, business development and strategy to partner and product management. This broad focus has allowed me to understand all aspects of an organization. I have strived in my career to work with people to bring forward the best ideas and execute. I am passionate about building teams and organizations. I love working across organizations to help build, measure and learn. I am always looking to develop new professional acquaintances. Contact me if you want to talk tech, product or failing fast.
