What Does Karl Think?

Solving problems and unlocking the mysteries of markets has taken me around the world and put me in the center of many disruptive and innovative moments in Technology.

Education and experience in software development and marketing made me a great product manager. 10 years at Adobe and learning from some great mentors helped me hone my leadership skills and earn seats on executive teams.

As VP of Product Management for eOriginal, a FinTech company, I am helping change how financial assets are digitally originated, managed and traded on the secondary market. Our customers include the best-known names in lending and funding, from newly emerging and rapidly growing marketplace lenders to the grandest of the traditional financial institutions.

Prior to eOriginal, I served on executive teams of two mid-sized technology companies, in leadership roles overseeing Product Management, Engineering and IT/Cloud Operations. At Acendre, I introduced new products to transform the way government organizations hire and manage their staff. At Geomagic I was responsible for products in the 3D scanning and 3D printing arenas, revolutionizing the product design and manufacturing.

I believe building strong, healthy teams is essential to long-term business success, and this underlines my commitment to coaching and investing in company culture. I have managed teams of more than 30, as well as P&Ls for both s/w and h/w businesses, and multi-million dollar budgets for R&D and marketing.

Innovation and opportunity doesn’t limit itself to one region or location, and neither do I. I've embraced opportunities to live / work across the US (California, North Carolina, Boston, Washington DC and Baltimore), the UK (London and Edinburgh) and Melbourne, Australia, and led / worked with remote teams in Europe, India and the US.
