Trent Blakely's Linkedin Analytics

In short, I'm a change agent, a bridge builder, and a lifelong learner. I combine technical abilities with business acumen to evaluate new technologies and develop partnerships at all levels. I am adept at creating winning strategies to solve problems, hit goals, and deliver value. As a seasoned product leader with almost two decades of experience in global, complex environments, I have a proven track record of delivering value to customers, businesses, and stakeholders through product lifecycle management, discovery practices, and cross-functional collaboration. I hold a third-level certification from Pragmatic Marketing Institute and a certification in product analytics from Product School. I'm also an Aviatrix Certified Engineer for cloud networking between the top 4 public clouds. Previous to MetalSoft, I was the VP of Product Management and Product Marketing at Unitas Global (which was acquired by PacketFabric). There I led the integration of Unitas Global products into the PacketFabric ecosystem and co-developed a product-led growth strategy. Prior to the acquisition, I established the product function and led the product strategy, definition, policy, and documentation for a portfolio of 9 networking and XaaS products. I have also coached over 200 individuals on product management and turned around a product portfolio from -15% annual decline to +7% annual growth in less than 18 months.
