👋🏼 hi, I’m Timmy! I’m incredibly excited to work with you all. You can check out the following to learn a little more about me. I’d love to discuss any parts of it, or just meet up for a coffee chat to get to know each other. ☕️

What I could talk about for 30 minutes 🥰

• Food (my wife and I are foodies, especially different cultures)
• Active activities such as Badminton, Crossfit, and basketball
• Everything I like about my family (wife, toddler, baby, dog, cat, bunny)

My Leadership “management” Style 🎯

• I am a very casual and informal person, but that does not mean I am not serious.
• I like to foster a working environment that is full of transparency, fun, and respect.
• I dislike using the word management or manager, but instead leadership and leaders.
• No expectations, but setting agreements
  • makes hard conversation not hard
  • to enable ownership models
  • to feel free to push back with data and reasons for our customers!
• starts with empathy and trust (good intentions) for everyone
  • it is not “why are you late to standup”, more so “is everything ok”?
• communication is key & cross-functional collaboration is the way to build a great product for customers
  • this helps everyone stays aligned to one goal/mission/team
  • no throwing balls over the fence for the “other functions” to work
    • e.g. engineers work end to end from discovery to solution’ing to expecting!
• one of my goals as a leader is to “eliminate” my own job, aka train and guide the team to make the right decisions
• Influence without authority!
  • throughout my time as a TPM, I learn that that is the “best” way to get an aligned and passionate team.
  • I should never need to tell someone what to do - it is more of a partnership between everyone (of course there are edge cases but this is the baseline)
• Do more with less
  • what group of people do you ask to solve a complex issue? the lazy ones’
  • simplicity & efficiency
  • “work smarter, not harder”
