Daryl R. Wallace

I help un-tap potential, align to purpose, reach and sustain performance for digital products whether heavy UX, cloud-based, COTS or API Service catalogs. Known for creating simple fixes, extensive portfolio transformation and affordable triage solutions. Focused on capacity, competence and capability levels to deliver beyond experience expectations by uncovering opportunities, unrealised strengths and unlocking congested funnels and product pipelines from inception to defect-free delivery. Provides graphical systems layers visuals to bridge the absence of systems-thinking. Background in SMEs working with CEO to team cofounder startups to large enterprises - including communications, media, airlines, hospitality, FMCG and government solution and product portfolio development. Over 15 years experience in refining product, requirements and software portfolio management leading teams to deliver better than expected value through new capabilities, interactive experiences and growth-centered portfolios with open source innovation community engagement. Delivering (un)conference presentations, running unconference open space innovation events such as Hackathons and Startup Weekends. Bringing an indefatigable reputation for delivering higher performance eco-systems, enhancing value in digital products, faster launch to market, game-changing functionality, optimizing software development. Strong track record working with multi-disciplined teams of designers, developers, DevOp infrastructure and brand to make sure we build the right thing, at the right time and in the right way. For those unfamiliar with Product Management, it’s similar but different from Project Management. Where PROJECT Managers focus is heavily on the “How” and “When” building budgets, allocating resources and plans, PRODUCT Managers dive deep into the “Why” and “What” is to maximize the impact from investment and deliver enhanced and sustainable value.
