Trevor Rotzien’s Summary

= Product Management =
As a Product Manager, my overriding goal is to deliver products that compete in the marketplace, delight customers, and succeed long-term.

I came to Product Management from a very technical background in software engineering. As my career progressed, I became dedicated to getting better at asking and answering "why?" and "for whom?" This has driven me through most technology and business roles in the Product Lifecycle. I’ve also spent significant time in consulting and professional services. The benefit of this wide variety of experience is understanding, first-hand, the responsibilities and perspectives of those with which I work, partner, and serve. I am an adept translator, ambassador, and leader-by-persuasion across diverse stakeholder groups.

I add the most value to initiatives that are complex, breaking new ground, growing at a challenging pace, or all of the above.

= Other Profession-Related Activities =
Advisory Board Member of the Product Management Consortium Northwest (http://www.pmcnw.org), a professional organization focused exclusively on product management issues for the high technology and life sciences industries. PMC volunteers organized and hosted Seattle’s first ProductCamp, an "unconference" for product managers (and anyone else with a passion for products), which was held on October 10th, 2009: http://www.barcamp.org/ProductCampSeattle2009. Due to the very positive response, a followup in 2010 is planned.

Co-founded the Anthropology in Product Management Community of Practice, which is represented by a group here on LinkedIn (http://www.linkedin.com/groups?gid=1877884), and by a weekly chat on Twitter (which can be followed by searching on the #aopm hashtag). AoPM members are interested in how to best apply social anthropology principles to Product Management.

Member of the Smarter Product Managers Book Club (on Google Groups).

Volunteer Product Manager for the programming group, Seattle Alt.NET.
