DESIGN LEADERSHIP AT THE BUSINESS LAYER

Finding the sweet spot

Great products emerge when business objectives and customer needs align.

I contribute to that alignment by connecting design team metrics with the company’s broader strategic vision. At SCAN, that meant a 25% increase in completed Medicare enrollments. At JPMorgan, a 31% cut in help desk volume.

SEE MY VALUES

Complexity is a product‑killer

I challenge teams to address complexity, so users don’t have to – and then support them with coaching and mentoring to ensure they meet the challenge.

Designers really respond to this, and it inspires them to deliver a better, more successful product. At Bloomberg, that approach cut compliance review time by 25% and reduced delivery time by 47% across the product suite.

Experimentation is the engine of innovation

I encourage my teams to lead with blue sky, but always have a practical fallback ready.

This can only be accomplished by providing an environment for them to fail safely, and the support and guard rails to ensure their success. At Wolters Kluwer, that meant testing different approaches to a ground-up product redesign before landing on the one that drove a 15% increase in annual sales.
