Background

About Prathuish Chander

I bring 10+ years of professional and multicultural work experience, having lived/worked in the US, Europe, Middle East and India. My skill-set primarily revolves around program/product management, strategy & operations consulting, business analysis, go-to-market, agile software project management, and customer success. My demonstrated core competencies include persuasive oral and written communication, interpersonal awareness, problem solving, ability to influence stakeholders without authority, analytical thinking and cross-functional team leadership. My immediate career goal is to transition to a delivery / product / project manager role at a B2B/B2C SaaS product company.(): I was accidentally introduced to PM while onboarding as an APM at Intuit in San Diego. Although I stayed true to my roots of being a generalist and worked on a variety of projects after this – I realized, this is the career path I want to specialize. I am a fervent believer of inculcating a growth mindset, and have been building it through consistent upskilling. I am currently actively involved in 4 unique cohort-based product management (volunteering / non-monetized) communities in an attempt to continuously learn and give back to what I enjoy doing the most – Digital Product Management. As a side-hustle, I enjoy building product portfolios and tear-downs that showcase my understanding and expertise of core PM skills viz: Market research, Competitive intelligence, Product Vision/Development/Launch, Product/Market Fit : UI/UX, User/Buyer Personas, Customer Journey Maps, Sketching Wireframes & : Scrum, Agile, PDLC, Making sense of data, metrics and KPIs :Frameworks, Building Roadmaps, Writing User stories, PRD, building MVP :Miro, Jira, Balsamiq, MixPanel, Microsoft Excel & PowerPoint Consulting: Most of my prior experiences were gained from my role of having been a management consultant with a Big4 (PwC) Advisory in the US. I have been fortunate to collaborate with some of the best clients across diverse industries: IT/Software, Pharma & Lifesciences, Healthtech, Marketing, and Fintech. I have never been afraid to try new things and thrive on ambiguity by traversing steep learning curves. A testament to this fact would be my involvement in early-stage startups in the beginning years of my career before I made a switch to the corporates. Fun-fact: I flew over miles and surpassed 250 hotel nights during a calendar year
