Learnings from London: How to build a billion dollar app

With a career founded in writing, I pivoted to Product, enjoying the challenges offered by managing diverse products while bringing clarity of communication to my work. I&#39;m passionate about seeing how fast the space is evolving, and always interested to be part of the conversation, whether as a contributor, or writer.

Lean Product Management

Oprah versus Spock: Advice from Dan Olsen and The Lean Product Playbook

I'm Andy Rosic, and I obsess over products. As a 3 time founder and entrepreneur, with 17 years in mobile and SaaS product management, things rarely slow down. My role as product director at Cvent helped position us for our pending $1.65bn acquisition.
I've built great teams since the two-way pager days, doing fun stuff in the consumer space as well as at massive scale in B2B and enterprise. We landed Apple retail, as a start-up, by pioneering smartphone mobile payments. And inspired Jack Dorsey in the kick-off of Square. I also led a mobile gaming start-up to 2.5 million paid installs, before free-to-play existed, with a take on 6 degrees of Kevin Bacon and a children's game called My Underwear.
