Maisy Samuelson’s Summary
Workhorse PM, generalist, doer more than talker (except wrt to office gossip). Digs into whatever job is necessary to make things run smoothly. Most importantly, I love working with highly motivated, intelligent people on features and products that matter.

Product Manager
LinkedIn
(Privately Held; 51-200 employees; Internet industry)
October 2006 — March 2008 (1 year 6 months)
Back in the days when there were only 3 full-time product managers and everyone worked on everything, I tried to choose problems based on importance to the company rather than sex appeal, e.g.:
* Redesigned invitation templates
* Decreased spaminess of marketing emails (via targeted, personalized content and data).
* Created new invitation flow that doesn’t require email addresses, making it easier for users to connect, without risking abusive behavior
* PM for location-based search features (made them work internationally, and much more useful in the US)
* Defined the customer service experience (led integration of CRM vendor Kana, revamped specialized, back-end customer service tool, set up customer service workflows and wrote canned response templates)
* Analyzed feature performance and site usage in attempt to keep us honest (lots of SQL). -
