Background

About Michael Bradner

I am a Strategic Product Leader with 15+ years of experience transforming complex business challenges into innovative SaaS solutions across security, retail, ecommerce, public and enterprise platforms. I specialize in bridging technical complexity with business value, building high-performing international teams that consistently deliver measurable results. My approach to product leadership has been shaped by my passion for exploration - having visited 28 countries across 6 continents. These journeys have provided invaluable insights into diverse markets and user needs, while building my resilience and adaptability. The cross-cultural understanding I've gained has proven essential when leading teams across Europe and North America, allowing me to foster collaborative environments that bridge time zones and cultural differences to deliver exceptional results. As a 12-time half-marathon finisher and a certified scuba diver and who has explored both the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans, I've learned that success, like running and diving, requires careful planning, adaptability, and a clear vision even in challenging environments - principles I apply to every product initiative I lead. I regularly contribute to industry publications including Security Today and Parking Today, sharing insights on smart city innovations and space optimization technologies - areas where my teams have delivered transformative solutions for 160+ municipal clients. Key Achievements: • Led development of enterprise SaaS platform serving 160 municipal clients, managing a cross-functional team of 23 across Canada and Europe • Orchestrated complex product ecosystem of 11 applications, aligning 30+ engineers and 4 Product Owners • Established reputation for rescuing failing initiatives across multiple organizations, successfully revitalizing 6 critical projects facing severe timeline delays, major functionality gaps, and budget overruns. • Reduced time-to-market by 60% through strategic partnership initiatives • Successfully launched Nike's first Global Store solution across 20 countries Open to connecting with fellow product leaders, technology innovators, and global problem-solvers.
