Some of the ‘Problems’ me and my teams have solved
My colleagues have some good things to say too






Philosophies that guide me and my work
- Take care of yourself, your family and friends
- Do what you say you are gonna do!
- Get out of your comfort zone. Learn and keep learning
- The fear of failure shouldn’t stop you from starting
As a Product leader
- Always start with the ‘WHY?’
- Solving customer problems and serving them is the primary goal. I need to have atleast one customer call per week
- Identifying and breaking down the problem is critical and is half of the problem solved. Also let design and devs drive solutioning
- Prioritization is a key skill. Know this - If everything is important then nothing is important
- It’s all about managing people and their expectations
- Everything built goes through this: Test → Learn → Iterate → Build / Evolve / Kill
- Use data as much as possible yet embrace uncertainity. Thats where magic happens
As a Team leader
- Laissez faire is where the team best performs (for the most part)
- You have my trust until you loose it
- Doing the same thing again expecting a different result is not the best way to do things
- Put in maximum effort in making the right decision. The results are not always under our control
- If you are really comfortable at what you do then you are not being challenged enough
- I’d rather have a non-top performer who gels really well with the team than a top performer who damages the team
- Radical candor is difficult to practice but goes a long way in buildign an awesome team
