I’ve recently moved to a new team at work. For the last 6 months or so, I was on the Product Development team for BlackBerry and Windows Mobile services and software. What this means in a nutshell is delivering to market carrier-branded software and services on our smartphone devices. What a great learning experience it was to be on that team! I had the great opportunity to work with really interesting and most importantly fun people. I was able to really bite into projects and own them and had my first taste of what it would be like to own a product and manage it. I was sad to leave, but I had to continue to try different things so I moved to the Product Marketing & Pricing team for our prepaid portfolio.

My time on the new team can best be described as hectic. There is a lot of work to do for this year and not enough capacity on the team as all our projects have been piling on really quickly. What I really enjoy about my new role is that it’s based around an entire portfolio, rather than a particular function or a subset of a product. What this means for me is that I have visibility on the product end-to-end, working on initial product development, execution and launch, all while implementing marketing and pricing strategies.

I will be on this team for about 6 months before I move on to another challenge. By that time, I will be reaching my 2 year mark at this company. Time really does fly…
