Bio
Brielle spent just over 10 years working with HR Technology, approaching her work by finding the balance between tech & talent. During her career, she spent time in the start-up tech sector where she had the opportunity to enhance the customer experience either by identifying time-consuming manual processes & finding ways for automation, or by taking an existing process & making improvements. This was also the time when she saw products being built to make people’s lives better, and with her experience working with internal cross-functional business partners and external stakeholders, she knew she wanted to officially transition to Product Management.Brad is the Executive Director of the MS in Product Management program at Carnegie Mellon University. This innovative, award-winning 1-year program focuses on big 4 skills PMs need: technology, business, design, and leadership. Like any great product, this program has built a track record of meeting the training and career development needs of students while meeting the talent needs of employers.
