“Damon was invaluable to me as a new PM heavy on product expertise and light on planning sprints and managing engineers. He helped me level up and I’m very grateful to have him as a co-pilot and a friend. His good cheer, natural curiosity, ability to learn on the fly and root out deep issues, common sense, and rapport within and outside the core team make me look forward to working with him on a daily basis. ”
