Back to original languageAbout Martin
Experienced Product Owner and Strategy Expert
With over a decade of experience in various leading roles in product development and corporate strategy, I bring comprehensive expertise as a Product Owner. My core competencies lie in Agile methodology, strategy development, and non-profit fundraising.
As Co-CEO of TreePlantingProjects and former VP of Products at XPLN, I have extensive experience in leading teams and projects. At XPLN, I was responsible for leveraging e-commerce data to support decision-making for major brands and retailers. At TRADEBYTE, I worked as a team lead and senior project manager in various areas, including direct-to-consumer product development and business development.
My approach is based on the philosophy that hiring smart people means listening to them and learning from them, rather than telling them what to do. This mindset has helped me build successful teams and develop innovative solutions that deliver real business results.
