Digital Product Developer for more than 20 years.
I build great product, services and e-commerce platforms for startups, corporates and everything in between.
Currently excited about advanced e-commerce platforms. We are available for hire.
We should hook up on Linkedin. Or write me directly on simon@simonschultz.dk.
I am categorised by some as a specialist. But see myself as a generalist.
I’m a Product Developer combining Ideation, Insights, Problem Solving, Project Management, Product Development, Customer Journeys/Experience and Business Development to create awesome products, services and e-commerce platforms that people love and care about.
I’ve been involved with 50+ digital products and platforms over the past 20 years.
I’ve been titled Product Owner, Project Manager, Head of Mobile, Digital Commercial Manager, Head of Section, Interim Head of E-commerce, Chief Product Officer and Partner. Also founder and maker of smaller services and startups.
Caring about simple yet sophisticated products with a strong value proposition that resonates well when communicated.
I’m a Jack of all trades. Master of none. Great at managing expectations from CxOs and motivating developers.
My coding skills are horrible. And I don’t do great looking design or UI. But I discuss matters, write up stories and specifications and sketch-up decent looking stuff in Figma/Sketch/XD. Put slides together to communicate ideas, plans, strategies and visions. Write simple copy that people get. And team up with great people to get stuff done.
I have been fortunate enough shape and improve my product development process over the years. Almost always taking an end-to-end responsibility.
A process which is great, fast, efficient and fun.
I care most about long term value for the end customers than next week’s revenue goals.
I Identify real customer centric problems and value propositions, that make it easier to build real products, services and ventures that resonate with real customers.
I’m reframing problems over and over again. Using the framework created by the good guy Mr. Thomas Wedell: What’s your problem (Harvard Business Press). A book where I am even credited as “Key thinking partner”.
I am a master of ideation. And filter ideas based on criterias and a strong customer focus.
Ideas from post-it notes are developed into strong strories, presentations and product plans – from suggested use case and value propositions to business case and vision.
I get into the nitty-gritty details and wireframe with the designer.
I care about a great User Interface and extraordinary User Experiences .
I am a product owner and a project manager. Making sure that we all get things done.
I coordinate. I iterate. I QA. I motivate. I listen, talk and align goals and expectations with stakeholders over and over again.
Always adapting my planning and process to match the team.
I get things off the ground by making sure all boxes are ticked.
I do all the boring stuff no one else cares about – cookie consent, GDPR, terms and policies.
Document internal processes and structures if no one else will do it.
I track product usage on customer feedback and quantity.
I setup funnels and cohorts – without being a data scientist.
I am led by a great combination of numbers, customer insights, vision and a data-driven gut-feeling.
Customer feedback is my fuel – which is why I preach that everyone should read customer support emails.
A product or service is never done. I continue to build, test and learn.
I maintain short-term development plans anchored in a long-term strategy and a great vision.
