Samdock is a sales CRM, built from the ground up to be simple to use.
As head of product (current):
After a break for other opportunities, I rejoined Samdock to support the team in a product management role. I defined product strategy and key experiments as we worked to solidify our product market fit in the DACH region.
Some of my main focuses are:
Leading & coached the design & product team, while collaborating as an individual contributor in our small team.
Collecting the customer feedback we had received since launch & established process to prioritize our roadmap based on customer communication rather than instinct alone.
Communicated the product team's strategy to our internal stakeholders, and built a public roadmap to keep our customers in the loop & engaged.
Separated large features into smaller iterations in order to learn from our experiments faster.
As a designer:
As the first designer on board, I oversaw the build of the first prototype and MVP. A key initial goal was to leverage learning's from the company's previous enterprise product, Daypaio.
After launch, I continued to be involved in the design & conceptualization of most new features & improvements.
During this time, our design team:
Built and developed a custom design system & frontend library from scratch.
Worked closely with our developers to design solutions that met our customer's needs while keeping implementation effort to a minimum
Designed an app with several core features and many interlinking parts. I'm proud of what we accomplished within our constraints!
