When Christian brought me on to the team at Datasite, I was able to be an active participant in transforming the product organization.
The most important lesson I learned under him was how important a strong product culture is.
It was amazing to see the difference in only a few short years.
Our product became the market leader in the space and, ultimately, our offering expanded to a multi-product platform.
