Summary
Dai Chen is a product manager and former founder with 10+ years of hands-on experience blending software engineering, agile delivery, and product design across startups and enterprise outsourcing. He led a Beijing-based agile consultancy for seven years, winning Fortune 500 engagements and personally coaching product teams while shipping prototypes and strategic projects as Product Director and Project Manager. Early engineering roles honed his backend and game-dev skills (Python, PostgreSQL, Unity3D), giving him the technical fluency to bridge business needs and engineering trade-offs. Currently based in Old Toronto and working at Penguin Benefits, he combines a pragmatic, value-first product mindset with deep experience in presales, business analysis, and Scrum. Dai also holds graduate training in engineering and psychology, a combination that informs both user-centered design and team leadership.
