Background

About Dan Halsey

I’m a product leader at heart who is passionate about building great human-centered products and experiences that increase human confidence and improve happiness. I have proven success in melding the power of what’s technologically possible now with the practice of human-centered design to solve real customer problems and deliver truly meaningful business results. I apply empathy, an analytical data-driven mindset and an entrepreneur’s approach to tech in leading teams that build transformative products. And I build and empower nimble, high-performing teams by fostering a culture of curiosity, trust, customer-focus, and delivery.What I know to be true about myself & I’ve shared with my leaders and mentees - I excel at the execution of big (sometimes audacious) ideas within constraints I speak tech, can guide execs and I tell great stories that motivate I love to buy vs build if it gets us to a solution faster and more economically without compromising on capability and outcomes I am constantly exercising my curiosity to learn, make better and make different High-quality relationships are the root of getting the work done between teams I stay calm when faced with adversity When you discover and design something truly transformational, truly differentiating - users will reward you financially if it makes their lives and their difficult decisions easier. And when it’s time to present the evidence, talk through the why and influence your senior leaders to invest in it, this simple summary often works - who doesn’t want more of that? Strong writing/communications skills - such a basic necessity but wow it makes a difference when it’s high quality, persuasive and effectivePlease feel free to contact me via LinkedIn. I’m always looking forward to insightful conversations.Professional SkillsProduct Management Innovation | User Experience (UX) Design | Product Analytics | No Surprises Ethos | Team & Leader Development | Mentoring & DEI Advocacy | Strategic Planning | Portfolio Strategy | Buy vs Build | Vendor & Contract Management | Triage & Root-Cause Analysis
