About Mitchell Owens
I\'m a passionate problem-solver who thrives at the intersection of strategy and execution, dedicated to driving growth and delivering impactful solutions that generate value and solve true human needs. With over 6 years at Ford, I\'ve honed a unique ability to navigate complex business challenges, from optimizing product profitability (e.g, a recent $15M profit improvement from license costs) to shaping digital product strategies for new customer experiences.My journey hasn\'t been traditional, and that\'s my superpower. My background in leading church music and performing arts, combined with an MBA and diverse business roles spanning Purchasing, Corporate Strategy, and Digital Business Strategy for a SaaS (B2C) venture, has cultivated a distinct leadership style. I excel at influencing and guiding cross-functional teams without formal authority, a skill I\'ve refined over two decades of inspiring volunteers. This enables me to drive stakeholder buy-in and successful implementation especially in ambiguous environments.I\'m driven by a desire to solve real human problems, leveraging data-driven insights, deep customer understanding, and a collaborative approach. I\'m adept at synthesizing market trends, competitive intelligence, and user needs to define compelling product roadmaps and optimize processes. My curiosity extends to emerging technologies, and I have a strong aptitude for how innovations like AI/LLMs can enhance digital solutions and workflow automation.I am always keen to connect with forward-thinking leaders and innovators who are tackling complex challenges, building the future of business, and fostering environments where strategic vision, execution, meeting human needs can reinforce and amplify each other.
