Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolJay Badenhope is a Principal Product Coach in San Francisco who combines eight years of hands-on product leadership with a decade-plus background helping startups and enterprises (Intuit, Pivotal Labs, Wells Fargo) ship customer-driven solutions faster. He specializes in coaching teams and executives to adopt Agile/XP, Lean Startup, and Design Thinking so they strengthen trust, surface productive conflict, and deliver measurable outcomes. Jay has led research-driven pivots and rapid experimentation programs—running dozens of tests to find product-market fit for two-sided marketplaces and new services—and has co-created company visions with entire organizations. As a change agent he also builds inclusive communities (co-founding a parents ERG at Pivotal) and brings a practitioner's mix of strategy, data-informed decision making, and facilitation to complex digital transformations like Kaiser Permanente Digital. An unexpected detail: he balances high-velocity product work with a lighthearted GitHub bio that proves he loves avocado.
