Marissa Herold, MS '19
Product Line Manager, Mountain at Black Diamond Equipment

To name an individual force behind a successful product launch seems impossible, but I do know that if it wasn’t for clear and concise communication and everyone’s willingness to set personal differences aside to collaborate, none of the projects I’ve worked on would have made it to market. Making great product is a team effort.

[On motivation] "Doing something that I love and I am passionate about—that ultimately provides people with products to do their daily activities and/or perform at their highest level."

Omar Nuboer, MS '17
Product Developer, Supara Group

"Communication is key. I work across all departments and need to make sure that each department understands the overarching insight that led to the creation of the project and make sure that that insight does not get lost in product design and/or communication to the customer."
