📖 Summary
- I am a results driven builder -- of people, teams and products. - I've led teams of 5 to 200+ engineers, product managers, project managers and product marketers working on cutting edge consumer products for companies like HTC and Sony. - I am passionate about converting complex high-value problems into simple, human experiences. - I believe in the power of "why" -- because if everyone knows why they are doing something, they are empowered to take the initiative required to achieve it. - I believe deeply in the power of humility -- recognizing that I don't yet know everything -- combined with confidence -- knowing that nothing within the laws of physics is impossible. - I believe in aggressive risk management because risk is correlated with reward; manage the risk and the team can capitalize on bigger and bolder opportunities. - I am passionate about learning -- understanding the fundamentals, being technically competent and willing to do what I ask others to do. - I love working with people that are committed to the same ideals, that know things that I don't know, that are passionate about the results and that put the team before themselves.VP Product @ From December 2014 to Present (1 year 1 month) Founder @ From October 2013 to December 2014 (1 year 3 months) Greater Seattle AreaVP - Disruptive Product Innovation @ From June 2010 to October 2013 (3 years 5 months) General Manager - Head of Software Product Management @ From December 2009 to April 2010 (5 months) London, United KingdomGeneral Manager - Head of Customer Product Management @ From June 2008 to December 2009 (1 year 7 months) London, United KingdomGeneral Manager - Product Management - Europe & Global Customers @ From September 2006 to June 2008 (1 year 10 months) London, United KingdomDirector - Product Management - North America @ From October 2005 to September 2006 (1 year) Director - Product Management - AT&T @ From August 2004 to October 2005 (1 year 3 months) Senior Manager @ From September 1999 to June 2004 (4 years 10 months) Consultant @ From September 1998 to September 1999 (1 year 1 month) Executive Officer @ From January 1996 to August 1998 (2 years 8 months) BA, Engineering @ Dartmouth College From 1991 to 1995 Björn Kilburn is skilled in: Product Management, Product Planning, Go-to-market Strategy, Wireless, Mobile Internet, Product Launch, Mobile Applications, Strategic Partnerships, Product Marketing, Cross-functional Team Leadership, Agile Methodologies, Analytics, Mobile Operators, Business Development, Solutions Marketing
