About Me

Created 20th April, 2014 by Ameze Agbontaen

Hello and Welcome to my blog, I like to call myself a very passionate product manager, why you might ask? The very thought of and the ability to develop and manage products that are useful and utilized by consumers is a task that gives me great joy. 

In my experience as a product manager, I have been able to see and do things that sales and marketing cannot give. I have researched, compared and created products just because consumers have decided that, hey! It’s time for something new.


MY PHILOSOPHY

"Much good work is lost for the lack of a little more". I believe in dedication, drive, hard work and a little more and with all this, nothing can stop me.



EXPERIENCE

I started out my career as a marketing manager, but my desire to know more, to understand and create what I was selling to consumers, led me to product management. I have been a product manager for over 4 years now and I can proudly say that, now when I sell a product I can give my honest and truest opinion about it.

Being a product manager has had its ups and downs, but I have enjoyed every bit of it.
