Secora (8/2012 – present)
VP, Customer Experience
Secora provides professional caregivers solutions to help their elderly clients live at home safely, as long as possible.
As a part of the founding team, I ensure that the solutions we create fit a market need. I am the leading champion for a hypothesis-driven approach to the design of our solutions, asking: “What are our fundamental assumptions? What’s the smallest thing we can create to verify those assumptions?” Accomplishments:
- Defined the mission & vision for the user experience discipline.
- Established listening channels for feedback from current and prospective customers.
- Defined a framework for success metrics for the customer experience.
- Hired and managed design and front-end dev teams.
- Created & tested first MVP prototype (lo-fidelity)
- Managed design & development of second MVP candidate (functioning app)
