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.
This belief and approach has shaped my work in Product Management, Product Strategy, and Agile Coaching. In my career, I most enjoy building teams that are centered around collaboration and iterative improvement, particularly when uncovering the best strategy and positioning for a product and company given the market dynamics at the time.
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 modernization of a Fortune 1000 support org’s product portfolio, and was recently appointed to the board of directors of a national non-profit.
