DARREN

Immensely curious product exec passionate about creating solutions that delight millions of users. I recently left a career in software to start a new business developing a new product for the home improvement market called SpeedBox... Despite my appreciation for technology, I believe that the greatest business asset is an empowered team of talented, passionate people working together to create meaningful value for customers. I am at my best when working with a small team in a diverse-minded, fun, inspired, no-drama environment... Director of Product Management @Microsoft working on Higher Ed; previously on @MSOneNote. Formerly VP of Product @Glympse. Helped start mobile initiatives @ Amazon.com (1999), RealNetworks (2001) and Expedia (2010). In between, I led the product team for Mobile AIM & ICQ and founded and sold a couple of small tech start ups - SeattleRentals.com (2002) and Playfield (2009).
