Summary
Joseph Guerra is a Principal Product Manager with 11 years of experience building user-first, LEAN products across video, payments, creator communities, blockchain, finance, identity, IoT, and maps. He combines a servant-leader approach with hands-on scope-hammering and forced-priority techniques to keep teams small, efficient, and always shippable—big fan of the two-pizza team. Comfortable interfacing with engineers, designers, legal, and executives, he blends product strategy with practical UX research, experiments, and rapid MVPs using Shape Up, Scrum, and Kanban. He leverages front-end familiarity (HTML/CSS/JS), GitHub workflows, Figma and Adobe tools, and daily AI-assisted tooling to accelerate delivery and analysis. Founder of an art venture and an active painter, he brings a creative sensibility and a bias toward sustainable, human-centered products that empower independents. Based in Charlotte, NC, Joseph has led product teams at Uscreen, Block.one, Salesforce Maps and others, and mentors product managers and analysts through empathy, transparency, and advocacy.
