About Jay Dean
INNOVATION & COMMUNICATION
An engineer by training and inclination, I've successfully "engineered" business successes as a product manager, management consultant, and software architect; across generations of technology changes.
I'm most recently developing CRM and eMarketing solutions, all based in the newest cloud-based architectures. I've been successful transitioning systems from older, on-premises SQL to the newest cloud architectures.
In prior years, I designed and delivered commercial and custom software applications, ranging from web-applications to enterprise-scale BI systems. Noted for very innovative solutions that users love.
I started in marketing and product development in consumer goods, and have always had a talent for writing and communications. I can speak to C-level executives and be heard, and have written a range of technical documents from white papers to API documentation.
I want to continue to build great products and lead great teams, I'm happiest pushing back the boundaries — been doing it for years — and love it.
