About Mark Niemann-Ross

I’m friends with technology. But I’m not blindly in love with it. I ask it questions. I explain it.I prioritize people over technology. Bigger, better, and faster features make shinier products, but that isn’t what people want. People don’t want widgets, they want elegance and relevance. I’m an educator, manager, evangelist, marketer, technologist, futurist, coder. I point to the future. I explain the present. I learn from the past. People speak different languages: marketing, sales, engineering, management, strategy. I’m fluent in all of those.Sometimes I’m abrupt. Sometimes I apologize. I’m passionate, but willing to believe I’m wrong. I try to inform myself. “Why” is my favorite question, followed by “When.” I write science fiction. Sometimes it’s about spaceships, sometimes it’s about products. The goal is the same; explain where we want to be, point out hazards, celebrate arrival. I’m engaging. Informed. Opinionated. Respectful. Your thoughts?
