Vahid Mansoori – Product Manager
A hub where the art of product management meets practical insights
I bring over two decades of experience shaping the future of digital products and platforms in some of the world’s top tech companies, including CCC Intelligent Solutions, Adobe, and Guidewire.
Throughout my career, I’ve specialized in turning complex concepts into successful products that drive industry innovation. At CCC, I spearheaded the strategic development of an AI-powered platform that is now poised to handle 85% of U.S. auto accident claims. My efforts have consistently focused on enhancing efficiency, such as through a significant transformation of the Adobe Experience Platform that boosted developer engagement by 30% and cut costs by 40%.
As a Senior Director of Platform Product Management, my role extends beyond strategy and development; it involves mentoring burgeoning product managers and leading teams that push the boundaries of technology to solve real-world problems. Whether it’s digitizing the property and casualty insurance sector or enhancing developer ecosystems, the goal has always been clear – to innovate and lead.
I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Chemical Engineering from the University of Tehran, and my professional journey has been complemented by continuous learning, evidenced by multiple certifications in product management, strategy, and technical skills.
This website is my platform to share the lessons learned and observations made along my product management journey. Whether you’re an aspiring product manager or a seasoned executive, I hope to offer insights that inspire innovation and foster growth in your own professional endeavors.
Join me as I dissect trends, tackle product challenges, and explore the evolving landscapes of tech industries. Let’s navigate the complexities of product management together.
