Summary
James Su is a product manager with 11 years of experience blending software, data, and hardware backgrounds to deliver high-impact product launches and process improvements. Based in Berlin, he has led cross-functional teams to ship complex installations like in-house heat pumps and energy-storage solutions while driving over €1.7M in annualized savings through operational changes and vendor optimizations. His career spans fintech and insurance product ownership, data analytics, and hands-on engineering roles at Oracle and Intel, giving him comfort at the intersection of technical architecture and business outcomes. James is skilled at turning ambiguous stakeholder needs into documented workflows and roadmaps, having created his company’s first comprehensive installation workflow visualization. He pairs a Berkeley M.Eng. in EECS with entrepreneurial experience founding an e-commerce startup, which sharpened his product intuition for customer funnels and growth experiments. Not obvious at first glance: his early hardware and automation work repeatedly produced multi-hundred-thousand-euro savings, a pattern he continues to replicate in software-led process changes.
