Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolPeter Kananen is a Principal Technical Product Manager with 14 years of experience translating Lean manufacturing principles into digital products that boost throughput and supply chain visibility for aerospace operations. Based in Cincinnati, he currently leads the Aeroderivative Engines digital strategy at GE Aerospace through the FLIGHT DECK program, connecting assembly-floor data to actionable insights. Previously he scaled and sold multi-million dollar software platforms as CEO of Launch Scout, driving a transition to 100% employee ownership and operational rigor via EOS. His hands-on engineering roots—from Ruby on Rails and iOS to J2EE vehicle routing systems—give him credibility when aligning technical teams and stakeholders. He excels at turning messy operational processes into measurable KPIs and practical software solutions that lock improvements into daily work. Less obvious: he combines founder-level commercial instincts with deep shop-floor empathy, making him effective at both closing deals and driving adoption among production teams.
