About Fikre Deneke

Innovative Product Manager with an entrepreneurial mindset, that brings a technical, analytical, and business solutions-oriented approach with a desire to dive into the weeds and drive clarity from ambiguity. I have a consumer-first approach with empathy at the forefront. I’m prepared to roll up my sleeves to get my hands dirty to dig out root causes, solve complex problems and do what it takes to deliver results before they impact customers. I’m able to lead with minimal direction, iterate and fail fast. I’ve got a track record of building 3 products from “zero to one”. I am seeking a position in Product Innovation/Management where I can help companies with the iterative product life cycle using quantitative and qualitative methods, coordinate and collaborate between cross-functional teams, do reach-backs, and get consensus. I bring a highly creative and well-thought-out meticulous methodology and passion for delivering world-class products with a go-to-market attitude for consumer products and internal needs. Let me bring your company’s ideas to fruition. My proudest moment was my 2.5 years of running my start-up Mi TV.
