Background

About Brandon Hauer

I'm an Associate Product Manager with experience working cross-functionally with scientific (pharmaceutical and academic scientists), business (go-to-market, sales), and technical roles (engineering, data scientists), bringing a scientific approach to understanding user pain points and solutions. I have spent several years working with tech start-ups, using my scientific expertise and product experience to help them focus on three main questions-WHO is their product for?(their users)-What PROBLEM does their product solve?(their pain points)-How is their product/ solution BETTER than alternatives?(their value proposition) These are questions that came up on every grant I applied for as an academic (why should an agency fund me?) and on every product I’ve owned and managed (how do I ensure this drives business and user value?). I have experience working with SaaS and web products, generative AI and LLMs, health and wellness tech, and an extensive background in life sciences (in particular, neuroscience 🧠). In my current role as an Associate Product Manager, I wear a few different hats every day. Building tools for scientists of course requires a deep scientific understanding, but I am successful because I excel at working cross-functionally. I facilitate alignment across our teams using that scientific knowledge, while incorporating the perspectives of our marketing, engineering, leadership, and other teams on a daily basis, all to champion the best possible user experience. Beyond all that, I love skiing, video games, heavy metal music, and unfortunately, chronically underperforming sports teams.
