About Josh Connor

I seek to innovate and help others. I achieve this through people, products, and technology, by sharing personalized experiences with like-minded professionals.With 15 years of experience, beginning with project consulting and continuing into strategy, transformation, and innovation, I have encountered many technologies, industries, and customers. This has prepared me to take advantage of the near-steady state of technology innovation and quickly adjust tactics to meet customers and co-workers where the need is greatest. I have led large, cross-functional teams to deliver digital transformation and product innovation. This has primarily focused on the discovery, design, and delivery of information solutions in the manufacturing, finance, and services industries.

Experience

1. Director of Product Strategy

   May 2025 — Present · Milwaukee, WI, US

   Customers are at the heart of how and why we innovate! As a product strategist for a rapidly growing leader of Identity and robust access solutions, my focus spans many areas of the business, though my passion resides in innovating for manufacturing.I lead initiatives aimed at growing our market share and continuing to position us as leaders across the intersection of Operational Technology and CyberSecurity. I am responsible for aligning and developing products to meet the needs of an ever-shifting and maturing manufacturing landscape, with the ever-growing threat of attacks from increasingly more capable and coordinated bad actors. I partner with marketing, sales, customers, partners, and leadership to deliver a product roadmap and aligned outcomes.At the end of the day, it all comes down to listening to customers and partnering with creative people, that is how you innovate and win!
