Appreciation for Aaron
Aaron is one of the greats of both product and leadership
When I worked with Aaron he amazed me with his encyclopedic knowledge of product management, designing and managing highly successful product teams, and engaging customers, all with the ability to drill down into any detail then back up to the roadmap level in a heartbeat.
I learned so much from Aaron on how to design a winning suite of products, build the team structure to own the products and make them great, and the depth of business knowledge to be able to prioritize between a million possible future projects to guide companies to a winning combination. He uplevels everyone he works with, providing training and guidance not just in the product we were building, but also in how to build a balanced roadmap, and how to deliver both for the needs of now and the needs of three years from now.
Aaron is generous with his time, with his knowledge, and with his support. He is a highly empathetic leader who brings out the best in team members and he is a trusted partner to other teams in an organization. He shares hard truths in a helpful way and provides clear and specific encouragement that builds your confidence. He helped me to improve both my product management and my leadership skills and I carry his lessons with me into every situation.

Aaron will help you challenge yourself and grow
I worked with Aaron for over a year and a half while he was leading product at Eleven Software and I worked under him as Director. In that time I grew exponentially as both a product manager (especially in my strategic thinking skills) and as a leader. Aaron knows the right time to push you and the right time to coach you — his emotional intelligence and deep domain knowledge make him an excellent mentor. Aaron will help you challenge yourself and grow as a product practitioner and as a leader.

I had the pleasure of working closely with Aaron during his tenure as VP of Product at Eleven Software. Aaron possesses a remarkable ability to strategize and execute large-scale, complex customer programs, seamlessly managing projects that span across multiple departments and stakeholders. With a strong background in the product development lifecycle, Aaron knows how to balance tactical execution with high-level strategy, ensuring that every initiative is both effective in the short term and aligned with long-term goals.
One of Aaron’s key strengths was his ability to coach and mentor our product managers, empowering them to deliver exceptional work. His guidance helped our team members grow their skills, refine their approach, and consistently meet high standards. Aaron also provided invaluable support to me as CEO, helping me understand and prioritize our product initiatives, and preparing me effectively for executive meetings with customers, where his insights allowed us to communicate our product vision with clarity and confidence.
Aaron’s capacity to prioritize competing projects, all while keeping customer deadlines into consideration, ensured timely, high-quality delivery across the board. His knack for innovation and creative problem-solving consistently brought immense value to our customers. His leadership, dedication to high-quality results, and clear communication skills not only strengthened customer satisfaction but also drove our team’s success.
