About Rigo Garcia

I love building things that solve problems. It started off with Legos as a kid, and has now evolved to Enterprise Software Solutions & Consumer Applications. I thrive off of building products that people love to use and help make their lives a little easier. My background as a Software Engineer, Technology Consultant, Entrepreneur, and Product Manager has prepared me for my role as a Product Leader.My role in Product is by nature a large one within any company. However, I prefer to play an even larger role by creating & leading internal initiatives to improve employee morale and team communication. I\'m passionate in every aspect of my life, and I bring that quality to work everyday.
