Summary
Christian Crumlish is a product leader and storyteller who builds empowered, outcome-focused teams that bridge UX, information architecture, and data-informed iteration to improve complex public services. With leadership roles spanning startups (CloudOn), nonprofits (7 Cups), and government innovation (18F, California Office of Data and Innovation), he has repeatedly turned sprawling social and service experiences into sustainable, user-centered products and profitable operations. He recruits and mentors top talent, fosters rapid experiment-driven learning, and isn't afraid to get hands-on with design and prototyping. An experienced author and conference curator—most recently of Product Management for UX People and the Design in Product series—he brings rare depth in communicating product strategy through narrative. Now based in Palo Alto, he’s exploring practical uses of modern LLM-centered AI to enhance product management practices.
