Michael H. Barnes's Linkedin Analytics

I'm a Product Manager with a diverse background in Electrical & Computer Engineering, Technical Sales, Product Development, Project Management, and Product Strategy. I have product experience in startups, connected vehicles, and Computer Software. There's something about working cross-functionally with engineers, data scientists, designers, marketers, and other stakeholders to create delightful experiences for customers. I empathize with users by actively listening to their concerns and advocating for them when creating new products and solutions. Making the best products in the world won't mean anything if the products aren't solving customer pain points. I don't shy away from ambiguous problems; I welcome ambiguity due to my engineering and business backgrounds. I believe that solving ambiguous problems unlocks new & creative ideas. My passions include gaming and discussing the different gaming consoles from the Sega Genesis and Playstation to the Nintendo Switch and Xbox Series X. I strongly believe that the new innovations in Cloud Gaming can lead to a more robust user experience for gamers. In addition to gaming, I have a podcast where I interview guests about their Personal Finance journey. I want the podcast to empower others to have honest conversations about various Personal Finance topics such as budgeting and retirement accounts.
