About John Vidaurrazaga

I’m a highly skilled, strategy-minded Program & Product Manager with 15 years of experience launching ground-breaking new products in emerging markets around the world. My background in program evaluation & reporting, coupled with my expertise in Go to Market strategy and project management, has allowed me to successfully deliver sustainable products that impact hundreds of thousands of people. The secret to my success is my intellectual curiosity, grit & ability to work well with a team or on my own. A strategic thinker, I constantly leverage my skills as a trusted advisor to senior leadership with the ability to grasp complex analyses & develop innovative dashboards, frameworks & methodologies that influence stakeholders of all levels. A lifelong learner who is motivated by a challenge, I take a holistic view of each project that I manage in order to identify issues and create processes that deliver strategic insights & scalable reporting. A problem-solver by nature, I thrive in ambiguity & high pressure environments where I can overcome blockers, inspire development & drive project completion under aggressive timelines. I began my career helping NGOs optimize their organizational structure so they can solve global crises, and along my journey have been promoted to lead teams in their mission to make the world a better place thanks to my positive attitude & expertise in developing tools & processes that align technical teams to timelines. Some key wins include: • Bringing 8 new products to market across 5 global regions • Overseeing development of website & sales assets that had 750K views in multiple languages • Leading negotiations with 3 international distributors to close the largest sale in company history • Delivering a program evaluation that impacted farmers in 14 communities My mission is to lead technical teams to deliver amazing products that change people’s lives.
