Chuck Palmer  ~  Product Manager & Consumer Strategist

Product Management

I translate complex cross-functional problems into products that work for people and businesses. My teams deliver by balancing value, design, and technology—not by chasing features. Whether it’s deploying 1,300+ 7-Eleven self-checkout kiosks in three months or building Airstream’s first e-commerce platform, I move from hypothesis to launch through structured iteration, grounded in data and empathy. My approach: make tradeoffs visible, make decisions reversible, and make the product indispensable.
