Kan combines deep consulting and delivery experience—having designed BI architectures, migration strategies, and high-availability deployments—with hands-on product management, design, and customer development. Based in Mill Valley, he runs Exploratory and enjoys exploring interesting datasets daily, bringing a curious, user-centric approach to product strategy.
