Diego Granados

I'm a Product Manager with experience working cross-functionally with business roles (e.g. Marketing, Finance, Sales), technical roles (e.g. Backend and front-end engineers, data scientists) as well as designers and UX researchers to bring products to life that make our users' problems and pain-points go away!

I have experience working with Web and Mobile products, AI and Machine Learning - There's something really fascinating about using data to try and predict the future. I'm a big believer that every model should be thoroughly thought from an AI Ethics point of view.

As a product manager I have to wear different hats every day and I excel at working cross-functionally. My experience and feedback has taught me that I bring value to the teams I work with because:

- I empathize with users and speak: geek, data whisperer, designer, marketer and salesperson. At some point I also tried to learn Shriiwook (I've always wanted to understand Chewbacca like Han did). Understanding means fewer mistakes, and mistakes can be very costly.

- I'm passionate about understanding customers, too many people use "customer obsession" as buzzwords in their resume.

- I leave the BIG ideas to the Elon Musks of the world. A good Strategy, Vision and Execution drives products forward - I do these three.

- I'm an engineer at heart and a musician at soul - I like to combine logic with creativity

- I'm the calm one. I'm the one that plans.

I'm passionate about helping others and I created a YouTube channel to help others learn about Product Management: https://www.youtube.com/c/PMDiegoGranados/
