Kevin Saito’s Summary
I've held a variety of roles starting as an analyst and working my way up to Business Affairs, Product Manager, and Sales Manager positions. In every role I've always been successful due to my ability to analyze and present data as part of the decision making process. Roles in product management have allowed me to broaden my skill set to include requirements generation, product design, and usability / concept testing. Most recently, my stint as a national accounts manager at T-Mobile helped me to gain a lot of experience with the delicate arts of persuasion, negotiation, and positioning of information. As a result, I bring a solidly diverse set of skills to the table that leverages industry experience in ecommerce, web 2.0 technologies, internet media, and the wireless sector making me an ideal candidate for wide range of companies looking to bring products to market in the internet or wireless space.
