Hi! I'm Joe. I'm a product guy, coach and founder.

My first professional job involved playing video games for 9 hours a day. After experiencing early signs of brain rot, I thought it's best I learn how to write software.

You could say my entire career is characterized by this “why not?” attitude.

Read on to learn more about what I do and how I can help you.

The best way to reach me is to send me an email.

How can I help you?

Product Team Building

I love building teams. Let me help you find, and hire great product managers, UX designers and engineering leaders.

Product Strategy

A product isn't just the thing you build. It's all the activities your firm engages in to bring it to life. All of these activities have to be grounded in a sound strategy. Let me help you discover winning strategies for your product.

Product Validation

Do you have an idea for an MVP? Let me help you avoid some of the pitfalls around building the wrong thing. Let's work through a lean process in order to bring your ideas to life.

Mike Krupit – Founder & Coach, Trajectify

Joe is one of the best product managers I’ve worked with on the East Coast. Philly has lots of people who say they’re product managers, Joe is the real deal (from a Silicon Valley perspective). I’ve worked with him on a couple of engagements via Trajectify and there isn’t anything he can’t do.
