Building products for regulated environments
I'm Karl, a Senior Product Manager with 7 years of experience creating solutions for complex, regulated industries. I specialize in turning ambiguous problems into clear strategies and working across teams to deliver outcomes that matter.
Currently, I manage multiple product areas at a B2B SaaS company, focusing on pay calculations, notifications, and strategic initiatives. My approach combines deep technical understanding with a focus on solving real business problems—I've built prototypes that unlocked solutions teams struggled with for months.
When I'm not building products, you'll find me riding my motorcycle through the Colorado foothills, optimizing my home entertainment setup, or deep in a Football Manager campaign.
What I Do
I build products in regulated spaces where the stakes are high and the details matter. My work involves navigating complex requirements, aligning cross-functional teams, and creating strategies that move from reactive feature requests to proactive, outcome-driven roadmaps.
I believe in showing rather than telling—when teams are stuck, I'll build working prototypes to prove out solutions. When strategy needs clarity, I create concrete artifacts that everyone can rally around. I'm equally comfortable diving into code, whiteboarding with executives, or working through the nuances of compliance requirements.
My Background
Over 7 years in product management, I've developed expertise in regulated environments including payroll, leave management, and compliance-heavy systems. I've learned that the best products in these spaces come from deeply understanding both the technical constraints and the human problems you're solving.
I'm a problem-solver at heart—whether that's optimizing a complex product strategy, debugging a tricky technical issue, or finding the right metaphor to help stakeholders understand a challenging concept.
