ABOUT PHILIP COREY
Some say that to be a great product manager you must be a jack of all trades. While it’s true that product managers need to have a good over-arching view of their product, I think it’s much more vital to be a problem solver. When taking a product from concept to completion, there’s no shortage of problems to solve. Fortunately for me, that’s my favourite part of the job. Thanks to my background as an engineer, combined with my MBA, I’m passionate about and skilled at getting to the root of business problems and building full-service, tech-powered solutions that makes clients’ lives easier.And it’s not just my client’s lives that I focus on; as a team leader and mentor, I believe the key to success in business is in constantly upgrading skills and sharing knowledge. I pride myself on my ability to transform corporate culture into a collaborative environment rooted in trust. With more than 15 years of experience managing products from beginning to end, I am well versed in all aspects of product management; from research and planning to development and launch, I enjoy working with services teams and stakeholders to develop best-in-class solutions. In addition to the skills mentioned above, some of my core strengths include: Strategic Planning Product Management Pre-Sales Business Development Global Team Leadership Training and Mentorship Stakeholder Management Process ImprovementsIf you think like me and are passionate about product management and technology, don’t hesitate to reach out.
