Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolScott Strubberg is a senior product manager and front-end practitioner who has spent the last decade driving IBM’s Carbon Design System, blending product strategy, engineering stewardship, and design advocacy. He leads multiple scrum teams, grew open and inner-source contributions 4x through an Agile transformation, and still contributes hands-on to Carbon’s UI components and Gatsby theme. His background in education and curriculum design informs a facilitative leadership style—he mentors early-career front-end engineers and builds cross-functional consensus across dozens of business units. Based in Chapel Hill, he pairs deep component-level implementation experience (SVGs, Storybook, Sass refactors) with large-scale governance and stakeholder orchestration, making him equally comfortable shipping code or roadmaps.
