Innovation
I am experienced with Lean Startup and Rapid Experimentation methodologies. This technique is geared to creating new and innovative products and services by learning from customers and understanding what they find important and necessary. The approach is one of the most effective ways to identify a customer “delighter” before the producing a new and unproven product.
