About Garett Vail

I get excited about integrating technology with business models to help emerging businesses grow. I like the challenge of optimizing customer value with business profitability. I seek to identify variances, both positive and negative, and then to understand the root cause. I’m a passionate listener, learner and researcher who’s unafraid to develop my own opinions. I’ve got a diverse business background in the technology sector with broad general management experience in product management, finance, strategy and business development. I work well and closely with customers to coordinate the efforts of internal teams to make sure new products and processes are developed, delivered and managed effectively.
