Chuck Swan

Born in Whidbey Island, Washington to a Navy Pilot and Nurse. I was raised in Chicago where the city landscape shaped my creativity and drive to improve user experiences. In 2016, I relocated to New York City for a formative experience working at Topps Digital on the top performing Star Wars Card Trader app. From here I’ve continued to build my career in a variety of roles leading up to my transition into Product Management.

I approach product management from first principles with the goal of solving user problems as my primary drive. I’ve spearheaded and created engaging user experience for millions of users across a variety of sports and entertainment brands.

Recommendations

“Chuck is an exceptionally skilled and detail-oriented professional, demonstrating mastery in documentation. His commitment to excellence is evident through his dedication and thorough approach to projects, garnering high appreciation from engineering teams. Chuck has established a masterful reputation with clients, consistently showcasing reliability, knowledge, and a caring demeanor in all interactions.

Moreover, Chuck possesses a strong desire to contribute to the improvement and growth of teams. I recommend Chuck for any team in search of a caring, dedicated, and detail-oriented professional who is committed to enhancing team dynamics and refining processes.”

“I had the pleasure of being Chuck’s manager at Boom Entertainment. He’s easily one of the most intelligent, hard working, and empathetic people I’ve worked with. He often got overloaded with work, but he took it in stride and knocked it out of the park. He quickly became a subject matter expert across the company.

Chuck goes out of his way to pay close attention to everyone on his team’s contributions so that he can accurately sing their praises as he doles out credit for successful product and feature launches. As a result, his teammates aren’t shy about wanting to ensure they can keep working with him.

Chuck is extremely detail-oriented and organized, which leads to excellent communication, project visibility, and ultimately helps ensure realistic expectations for whatever he and his team are working on.

Chuck is also a lifelong learner, constantly looking to improve and expand his product management skillset. A product manager never stops learning, and Chuck relishes that fact, because it means he gets to expand his knowledge ad infinitum.

I hope to have the opportunity to work with Chuck again in the future, and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him for product management positions.”

He quickly became a subject matter expert on our products and internal workflows. I always felt confident having Chuck take the lead on working with clients to identify and execute on innovative solutions to drive product growth.
