Jeff Hurlow’s Summary
I am an entrepreneurial executive with a successful track record for delivering high quality, impactful user experiences to both broad range and niche audiences.
Deeply committed to a User Experience approach to solving design/product decisions, while having the insight and experience to view this through a Product lens.
My focus has been in the understanding and analysis of social media. By targeting on this area of the web for the last 5+ years, I've been able to see and generate ideas that are ahead of the curve rather than playing catch up with those that have gone before.
In the end, it's about getting great products out the door. In my experience with large organizations such as Yahoo!, my greatest assets are the ability to manage and mobilize the right people to get the job done. With smaller organizations, it's being able to be communicate ideas with my team and being able to act on them.
