Background

About Tom T.

Passionate Cyclist, Innovative Problem Solver, and Creative Leader I'm a passionate cyclist and innovative problem solver who loves on the "deep dive." I love uncovering overlooked possibilities and, in turn, crafting the best strategy and products for my clients and customer base. 🧠 Deep Expertise My expertise and hands-on experience have evolved through various roles. From mechanic and fabricator to retail management to production consultant and now as a Product Manager I've always jumped in, gotten dirty and tried to soak up as much information and knowledge as possible. My goal is to actively contribute to the evolution of the business. Sustainable Product Development Advocate My role as Product Manager allows me to champion the development of products that are not only innovative but also better for the environment. Whether it's introducing eco-friendly materials, re-orienting packaging to minimize our carbon footprint, or introducing products tied to green initiatives, I am committed to ensuring that our products align with a greener and more sustainable future. Background in Fine Art and Teaching Rooted in a fine art background, I bring a unique skillset to problem solving. When addressing complex issues, I leverage my creative background to find innovative solutions that stand out. Transitioning from a decade as a university professor, I've honed my management skills by fostering exploration and problem-solving. I believe in guiding teams through collaboration and encourage them to discover solutions rather than simply providing directives.
