James Reagan’s Summary
I'm an official rocker of boats - I challenge the status quo, have an insatiable passion for the customer (if I don't fight for the customer, who will?), find creative ways people never thought of to simply get things done, and make things happen. My career is filled with successful launches of "you can't do that!" I also have an eye for talent and am smart enough to team with those people that are smarter and more capable than myself.
I excel at bringing order to chaos, thrive on dealing with ambiguity, being decisive with the data on hand, and never shy away from doing more with less. I'm known simply as "the product guy" due to my passion for customers, understanding how they think, and understand the dynamics of the market. And I don't wait for the next challenge... I create it.
