“I rate Charlie among one of the most conscientious and effective Product Managers I've had the pleasure to work with. He's a ruthless prioritiser, brings evidence-based decisioning to the table, and can say "no" in ways that stakeholders can understand and accept. When he joined our team, he inherited three confused technology-lead briefs without clear target audience, vision, strategy or business case. He wasn't long taking control, working his softly-spoken magic to quench the many fires and bring calm, focus and direction to the project. He knows when to delegate, and when to grab the reins. Our team was dominated by some strong personalities at the time, and Charlie earned their trust through simple but effective communication, staying calm and considerate under fire, staying empathetic to the goals and motivations of other teams (without giving in to design-by-committee), and knowing how to sell his vision to engineering and commercial stakeholders. He was always open and clear to admit what he didn't know, which is a rare and special quality, and worked very hard to learn new principles and concepts with ease. Personally, I shared a desk with him for the last 6 months, and we had a great time together, supporting each other, sharing responsibilities, and driving product, user research, and design and activities. Charlie is hands-on, interested, energised and useful, and I miss working with him very much. Hopefully we will have the chance to do so again in the future.”
