About Justin Ayers
With 20+ years of Product Management & Technical Program Management experience, I am an established, natural leader with a deep and extensive background in software engineering and managing high performing teams. A proven track record of driving clarity throughout the entire software vision and engineering lifecycle. I have significant experience in engaging customers and partners at scale to deliver world class user experiences and solutions that drive customer satisfaction, business impact, and engagement. Spanning user experience, form factors, and software as a service, I have a unique combination of product making excellence, UX design strength, and deep core platform experience. As leader who puts people first, I’ve recruited and managed top talent to build balanced, inclusive teams which leverage data driven decision making, customer empathy, and a 360 degree view of the customer life cycle view to drive investments into products.I am always looking for opportunities that leverage my experience, give me tough challenges, and drive business impact and value. These opportunities may be tactically focused or evolutionary & delightful – both paths allow me to demonstrate and showcase my creativity, bias towards action, and ability to deliver results.
