Product manager spotlight
Elisa Moxley
Vice President, Product Development
What did you study in school and what did you think you were going to be when you grew up?
I double majored in business and psychology in undergrad and have an MBA with a concentration in marketing. My career goal changed as I was growing up but through college, I thought I would end up in marketing. Regardless of the roles I’ve held over the past years, I find that my psychology degree has been incredibly beneficial as I work and collaborate across different teams and departments.
What strategies do you use to identify and prioritize customer needs when developing new products?
First and foremost is using customer feedback, whether through surveys, interviews, or discussions, to clearly understand what needs and the job to be done. Factors considered as part of prioritization is ease of build, size of market and need, organizational strategy, and value or impact to customer.
What product are you working on right now and why is it important?
The product I am working on is Dedicated Virtual Warehouse (DVW), which virtually sequesters product on behalf of our downstream customers. This product is important as it helps provide more transparency and inventory control, which ultimately helps support supply chain resiliency and product availability.
