Welcome, I’m Dana Bamshad
PRODUCT MANAGEMENT LEADER & INDUSTRY MENTOR
Each day, millions of people use products I’ve helped build in both their personal and professional lives.
Over the course of my career, I have developed a proven track record for developing high functioning teams that bring products to market from conception. I have worked in both the B2B enterprise space and on direct to consumer products that have achieved significant scale. Regardless of audience or vertical, I bring a customer first approach rooted in empathy to solve problems and deliver innovation.
My specialty is taking a nugget of an idea and transforming it into a delightful product that achieves market fit while also transforming the lives of the end user. Doing so requires dedication to consistent active listening, humility and the flexibility to learn, adjust and optimize along the journey.
ABOUT ME PERSONALLY
Hello there!
I am a mom to a bright and spirited 4-year-old girl, Marlowe Xela, and married to a Geneticist & Pediatrician Physician-Scientist, Michael. We reside in Seattle, WA.
Together we raise a small “zoo” of animals including our Karelian Bear dog, Togo, Bengal cat, Oni, and numerous creatures in our saltwater tank.
When I have free time I enjoy jewelry design, sewing, throwing ceramics on the wheel in my small garage studio, yoga, and cooking.
I currently run a private practice professional development and career transition business, RAKU Coaching. Through this work and volunteering, I serve as an industry mentor to high-potential tech & product employees, as well as advise early-stage start-up companies.
