About Mary Lee

I am a versatile Product Management and UX leader with 20+ years of experience in all UX and Product Management functions, including research, design, development, and management. I’ve worked with global teams building applications for mission-critical enterprise technology, education, and transportation. My curiosity, concern for people, and focus on positive outcomes set me apart. I gather data, establish priorities, foster connections across the organization, and empower teams to achieve great things while maintaining a healthy work-life balance. Under my leadership, teams have improved customer and business outcomes, including building commercially successful enterprise technology products, elevating the role of user research in product strategy, developing company-wide design systems that made using our products easier, automating content checking to align thousands of in-product messages with company style guides, and integrating adaptive learning technology to improve student learning.
