Resume
Leading product teams to generate more user value, be more strategic, productive, and profitable. Author of Exponential Happiness.
Judson Moore
I'm a product management professional with more than 20-years of work experience. My career has taken me across the globe to fill a variety of roles in a breadth of industries. My passions include applying technology and innovation to solving traditional problems, sharing my experiences through writing and interviews, and committing to making my community a better place for all who live in it.
My accomplishments include improving the landing experience of +1 Billion users of trivago.com, building a publishing platform for journalists in Central Asia, and being an album photographer for the White Stripes. All of which also makes me a great storyteller.
When I'm not on the job, I spend time engaging with my community through my Rotary Club, traveling as much as possible, blogging about my experiences, playing the drums, and cycling.
My 5-year goals include writing another book, speaking at conferences, and acquiring permanent residency in Germany.
