Adam Siegel’s Summary
I find both the technical and marketing aspects of product management very rewarding, especially at early stage start-ups in the user-generated content/social media space. My areas of expertise and passion are digital music, 3D virtual worlds and streaming video, and I have successfully built content generation and consumption based communities around all of these. I enjoy developing business/product strategy and working with great teams to design solutions, develop implementation plans and execute. I look forward to continuing to collaborate with talented marketers and engineers to imagine, design and develop innovative products and services based around user-generated content and digital media.
