Summary
Shawn Coots is a product leader with 12 years in product and experience strategy built on a 25-year foundation in design, content and creative production. Currently Product Lead at Mechanical Orchard and formerly a multi-role director at Humana, he has led cross-functional teams to deliver reusable APIs, consolidated mobile experiences, and clinical products that improved outcomes for hundreds of thousands of members. He combines hands-on design sensibility with product management rigor—writing stories, running user tests, and aligning legal, clinical and engineering stakeholders to ship measurable results. Notable wins include a single-source medication platform and a behavioral health program serving 2.4 million members, plus a corporate product management training used enterprise-wide. Based in Louisville, KY, he’s equally fluent in UX detail and strategic roadmaps, and often surfaces operational improvements (like reducing training costs 82% and shifting teams to agile) that unlock delivery velocity.
