Vicky V.

Anybody looking for a product leader should jump at the chance to work with Vicky. Her no-bs approach and wealth of experience will up-level your product strategy, operations, and team within a matter of weeks. But she's also not afraid to get in the weeds and execute faster than just about anybody I know.

Vicky is one of the most intentional and systematic thinkers I’ve worked with. At Zapier, I watched and learned as she led dozens of teams toward smart solutions to complex problems. I got to see her use the same skills on a different scale at Canopy. Vicky’s biggest strength is her ability to identify highly impactful work and rally her teams accordingly. She sifts through ambiguity to find opportunities, working with peers to understand challenges and create genuinely empathetic solutions.

Vicky is a stellar combination of product strategist, product manager, and executive partner to engineering. She has an innate ability to strike the right balance between vision and practice. She is thoughtful, methodical, and pragmatic when it comes to tackling large, intricate problems. She has an incredible work ethic and naturally up-levels the people around her. Finally and most importantly, she's fun to work with.

Vicky has everything you'd want in a product strategist: clear vision, keen attention to detail, and a highly collaborative disposition. In two months with us, she (a) managed a full newsletter redesign and HTML template project, (b) led the development of a lifestyle guide product, and (c) helped us put the pieces in place for the transition to a permanent product solution. (For the record, we tried to keep her around!) Highly recommend her services to anyone with a hard problem to solve.

Vicky was the lead PM and main point of contact with our development agency when building and launching Puck. She was an integral part of the team and brought discipline and creativity to our product development and GTM strategy. She is an all around fantastic human and would add value to any team. I hope to work with her again in the future.

Vicky is an excellent product manager and team member and I would gladly work with her again. She is a strong and fast executor - she's highly organized, works well across teams, is a good communicator and drives action. She also thinks strategically, always has great feedback, and can connect higher level goals to the product roadmap. She's customer focused, great at user research, thoughtful and works well with others.

Vicky is one of my all time favorite folks to work with. She's a product thinker that doesn't get lost in the theory, but also ensures that the team delivers value to customers that wows them. You know that when Vicky's on it, it's going to get done, and she gets the best from the teams around her. If I were hiring her as a fractional leader, I'd be excited for my full time folks to see what good looks like across both product strategy and execution.
