Background

About Ross Berman

I'm currently a Product Manager on the Automation team at Freddie Mac, where I focus on automating testing procedures to create consistency and time saving for multiple divisions. I'm known for creative thinking and speaking up when it counts—whether that’s to advocate for a more efficient way to get things done or to raise important concerns during a project. I am passionate about technology and am actively exploring the impacts of AI and agentics impact within Product Management. I thrive in collaborative environments and believe the best results come when every team member feels empowered to share ideas and challenge the status quo. My strengths lie in communication, team cohesion, and a natural inclination to problem-solve through a mix of curiosity, creativity, and practicality. Before pivoting into product management, I built a strong foundation in IT auditing, with experience as both an external and internal auditor. I’ve led audits across areas like middleware, containerization, virtualized asset management, and technology asset management. I also hold a CISA certification and have played a key role in remediating critical issues within complex systems. I graduated from the University of Maryland's Smith School of Business in 2019, majoring in Information Systems and Supply Chain Management. No matter the role or title, I bring the same energy: ask the right questions, communicate clearly, and help teams move forward with purpose.
