Nice to meet you,
I'm Garren.
ABOUT ME
I believe in the power of forging meaningful relationships, so that we can all realize our potential. I strive to accomplish this through empathy, vulnerability, curiosity, introspection, and optimism.
So far, this has manifested in Product Management, managing a team of Agile Coaches, and coaching engineering teams and Product Managers on Agile. I don't have 30 years of experience, I’m not an expert, and it's one of my biggest strengths. Why? Because I'm required to constantly tweak my approach based on the most current research and rigorously proven methods to stay ahead of the game. I’m always looking for new things to learn, and strive to always have an open mind.
In my free time I research and write about leadership, and I champion Lead Happy, an initiative to create a world where every person is empowered, supported, and fulfilled by the leaders in their lives.
EXPERIENCE
When I graduated from college I started an Agile consulting company and ran it for two years before I decided it was time for my next adventure. For the next five years I worked with engineering teams and Product Managers to find the most efficient and rewarding way to deliver value to customers, as well as managed a team of coaches that do the same. Since 2021, I’ve been a Product Manager focused on the complete overhaul and modernization of a Fortune 1000 support org.
