Corry is Looking for Work

You can see a regularly updated detailed summary of my skills and experience on my LinkedIn profile. That’s where I show what I have to offer, while this page is about what I want for my career. 😊

What I Want to Do

I want to:

  • Lead: Hire, train, mentor, and invest in talent and create an environment for continuous improvement, innovation, and optimization.
  • Manage Holistically: Manage collaborative projects and innovative products from inception through their entire lifecycle. Iteration and innovation are my specialty. User research, experimentation, and testing are a big part of that.
  • Take Responsibility: Foster a sustainable burnout-free workplace where everyone feels secure, included, and safe to be themselves. The organization benefits from the whole of each of our experience, and we can’t leverage that without safety.
  • Adapt: Foresee and react to the changing global environment with technical innovation, decisiveness, and good faith compromise with colleagues and partners.
  • Share Knowledge: Continue to build my reputation for speaking with kind candor about risk, opportunity, and providing solid general technical advice for decision-makers.
  • Win: Set ambitious expectations and meet them consistently, so senior leadership can deliver on our promises to customers and shareholders.

Where I Want to Work

I want to work fully remote, or hybrid within the San Francisco/Oakland Area (accessible via public transit) for a company that:

  • Values diversity and shows it in action
  • Cares about doing things well and not just doing them quickly
  • Does the right thing, even if doing otherwise may be more profitable
  • Respects experience, takes expert advice seriously, and interprets data critically
  • Invests in the skills and careers of its people
  • Rewards employees based on clear metrics, based on outcomes

I’m available to start immediately for the right opportunity.

Company Size

I can magnify my ROI for large companies and have recent experience proving that, but smaller companies and startups benefit from my experience as well. I can handle many aspects of any project and flex to their circumstances day by day. I can also help scale operations with insights from several different steps along that road.
