Summary
Michael Bierman is a Principal Product Manager with 14 years of experience designing and shipping consumer and developer-facing web and mobile products, currently leading personal media strategy for Comcast X1. He blends deep technical fluency (HTML5, JavaScript, APIs, WebKit-era web runtimes) with business savvy to revive product lines, launch new platforms, and drive measurable adoption and revenue gains across companies like Nokia, eBay, Walmart, and Apigee. Michael has a track record of building developer ecosystems and tooling—creating multiple generations of Nokia’s Web SDK—and launching community-driven features that boosted engagement and search-driven traffic. He’s comfortable across cradle-to-grave product lifecycles, from prototyping and PRDs to partner APIs and service integrations that power mobile and set-top experiences. Based in California, he pairs formal Scrum training and mediation skills with a communicator’s background in English and Toastmasters, which helps him align diverse global teams and stakeholder priorities.
