Kevin Haughwout's Summary
I still remember the day in college when I fell in love with product development. I had an idea how to design and manufacture the best product, but I wanted to know why and for whom I should be developing it.
From that day forward, I’ve endeavored to build a toolkit of skills in engineering, marketing, and operations to help me answer these questions. I’ve worked with stakeholders across the process, from building prototypes by hand to making pitches to clients, and I’ve studied under leaders in the field. From research and ideation, to design and manufacture, to marketing and sales, I can communicate fluently across the value chain to help make your product a market leader.
