Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolDean Peters is a Principal Consultant & Trainer with 10 years of product leadership and decades of hands-on engineering experience, now helping organizations move from mediocre to magical product management. He combines deep technical fluency in AI, NLP, ML, IoT and enterprise search with pragmatic coaching—fixing failed agile transformations, rehabbing backlogs, and teaching teams to turn data into sellable, scalable products. His work spans startups to enterprise, driving product strategy that enabled an acquisition and delivered production-grade SaaS platforms for healthcare, energy, and media. Former coder turned product manager, he blends storytelling pedagogy with practical exercises to make complex concepts stick for hundreds of practitioners. Based in Apex, NC, he’s as comfortable designing distributed analytic systems as he is delivering hands-on training in a Hakawati style. An unexpected strength: decades of biometric, device-integration and early GIS/IoT systems work gives him rare perspective on long-lived technical debt and operational realities.
