Joel D Harper's Linkedin Analytics

Professional Summary: Executive leader with extensive experience driving vision, strategy, and delivery to optimize business operations, performance, and growth. Proven expertise building and scaling global teams, operating models, and product roadmaps. Personal Summary: Growing up in Pullman, WA, I used to spend summers working in my dad's shop or on my uncle's farm. After graduating from Washington State University (Go Cougs!), I spent my early career in Seattle, WA learning entrepreneurship and product management by two mentors of mine. In 2006, I was ready for a great adventure (and more sun) and chose Austin, TX. It didn't take long before I met my wife, started my first business, had two children, and shortly after closed that first business. Over the course of my career, I have met a lot of talented people who have helped to shape me. I have found a home at Apple on the CSO Sales Products, Platforms and AI/ML team. Our team is currently building and scaling a content automation engine to distribute eCommerce ready content during NPI and sustain. A proud Texas Ex, I graduated from Texas McCombs Executive MBA program. I'm currently enjoying being an active member on the MBA Advisory Board and participating in the McCombs mentorship program.
