SAMSUNG
DIRECTOR OF DESIGN AND EXECUTION, PRODUCT INNOVATION TEAM
The Samsung America Product Innovation Team team is responsible for identifying breakthrough technological, cultural, and market trends across the USA and rapidly spinning up ideas and prototypes for products and features. It’s a think tank for innovation that spans the entire, massive product line at Samsung from smartphones to refrigerators to washing machines to smart home devices.
At PIT I led a nimble team responsible for conceiving of solutions with credible paths to shipping, covering both design and engineering execution.
On a personal note, COVID hit about 2 months into my tenure and the innovation work turned into a work-from-home ouroboros as I cared for my two young children while trying to rapidly respond to market needs. A strange time.
