I believe in fostering collaboration by seeking a balance between leading and listening with teams to deliver high value solutions. Here is what many of my colleagues have to say about working with me...
Alecia Murray
Kelli's ability to quickly grasp complex technology and problem spaces is impressive, and she has wasted no time in crafting and driving solutions to address both tech debt and customer problems. Her strategic vision and proactive approach have been instrumental in guiding our product development efforts, and her leadership in tackling challenges head-on has been impressive. Kelli's dedication to understanding both the technical and customer-facing aspects of our products sets her apart as a standout product manager.
Schön Brenner
The best product owner I've ever worked with! I worked with Kelli for about a year in an organization which struggled without enough product owner experience until Kelli came along. Kelli has the technical chops to help engineers communicate more effectively, disambiguate technical jargon and extract out the true WHY of the story. She's fantastic at story decomposition without developers having to sacrifice tracking the HOW they're going to accomplish it.
Clara Munro
Kelli, is an authentic and outstanding product manager. She excels in meticulous planning & attention to detail. Her unique talent for uniting teams ensures on-time delivery and high-quality results, making her invaluable to any organization. Working with Kelli is like adding a sprinkle of joy to your professional journey – her enthusiasm is contagious, and deadlines feel more like dance parties!
Michael Brent
Kelli is a bright, talented and energetic person who brings a tenacious and technologically savvy point of view to both the project and the application under development. I definitely enjoyed working alongside her in this challenging, high visibility project. With a great attitude and a willingness to roll up her sleeves, both the application and her co-workers benefited from her involvement. I would not hesitate to work with Kelli at the earliest opportunity.
Royce Lawler
She guided our team to exceptional results both from business and project management perspective. The result was a system that exceeded the users’ needs while also completing the project on time and budget. Specifically, Kelli clearly developed the business case, gained sponsorship from senior leadership within the Brand Marketing team, and clearly articulated the vision to the project team. From the kick-off through the go-live, Kelli was a pleasure to work with. She’s a great teammate, a creative solutionist, and an intelligent business leader.
Anya Hankin
Kelli facilitated a strategic planning process for our newly expanded team at Flora Bowley Designs. This was the first time that we had engaged in a planning meeting of this nature, yet everyone felt supported, encouraged, and inspired by Kelli's guidance and graceful leadership. Kelli brought a creativity, thoughtfulness and savvy expertise that enabled us to both dream big as well as get down to action. The impact of her work with us has been transformative.
Damon Gaumont
Kelli is amazing. She’s a veritable font of knowledge when it comes to product management, with a storied work history that speaks volumes about her capabilities and mindset. You could call her a go-getter, but that would fall short of her true nature when it comes to doing a job well done. A better way to describe her is a product champion; someone who will do whatever it takes to ensure products are a success, without sacrificing the product teams involved from inception to launch and beyond. Rather, she is a masterful negotiator with both internal teams and clients alike and even has great creative ideas of her own that she is willing to share as it is helpful. All of this in itself is worth its weight in gold, as it’s hard to find someone who can command the room like she can, but in a way that still is empathetic, approachable, and creatively minded.
Aubrey Jensen
Kelli has a unique combination of skill, intelligence, curiosity, attention to detail, and pride in her work. Combined with a genuine interest in product experience, dedication to her colleagues, enthusiasm about her work I would recommend Kelli without reservation. While working with Kelli I saw her prioritize the success of clients by contributing creative problem solving, expert guidance, and support throughout a project. She excels at capturing business requirements, listening to users and collaborating with team members. She is excellent at ensuring efficiency in answering questions amongst varied teams while keeping stakeholders (internal and external) in mind before efforts are undertaken. To state again and now that all of this has been said, I would recommend Kelli to any organization looking for an experienced product manager.
Jake Lewis
Kelli has an unusually strong capacity to view deliverables from the client or customer's viewpoint. She understands completely what will and won't work for customers, and is able to cut through any internal myopia to make sure that teams produce the most valuable output possible. What makes Kelli unique, however, is her experience as a product owner, managing agile development processes and successfully integrating the design flow into agile product development.
She's a powerhouse to have on your team bringing energy, expertise and great passion with her no matter what the task. She gets the job done, works hard and delivers results. You would be lucky to have her on your team. Highly recommended.
