About Reece Quesnel

Technology either makes problems better or it makes them worse. There is no neutral impact once a solution is adopted, and all too often the solutions companies deliver fail to make problems better. I believe in a product philosophy that mitigates these failures and delivers impactful solutions to meaningful problems, ultimately for the purpose of making peoples’ lives easier. My product management principles are- Outcomes over outputs (let’s move the metrics that matter for our end user and business)- Bring the makers close to the problems (engineering and design need customer/problem exposure to help identify and deliver the best solutions)- Experiment and iterate to de-risk product decisions (Continual learning is essential to build the right product AND mitigate unnecessary costs)- Decisions informed by data (HiPPO and gut instinct aren’t enough to build a product users love)- Communicate, communicate, communicate (trust is built inside and outside the organization through transparency and honesty).Product management specialization- Agile software methodologies - Experience building B2B, B2B2C, and healthcare SaaS products - Analytics (Google, SQL, Heap)- Managing data intensive analytics products (ETL operations, warehousing and performance, data visualization)- API integrations - User research and UX design
