Product Team Manager, Alex Slocum talks POS features, ecommerce, being a builder, and Halloween!

Around the Workstand

This week we’re joined by our Product Team Manager, Alex Slocum. Alex tells us about how he got into the world of bicycles and technology and how he ended up here at Workstand with us. We learn what a Product Team does and what the roles are in our Product Team along with how the team interacts with other parts of the company such as Development, Client Success, Marketing, and of course, our Leadership Team.
Alex is a key figure in the development of our new Point of Sale features and in the ongoing development of our ecommerce platform and tools. The episode is another example of Alex’s commitment to transparency and his openness to feedback and what becomes of it once his team receives it. We get into the genesis of these new features and how the progress we’ve made as we ready the official release compares to the goals set two years ago when it all began to take shape.
Alex’s creativity isn’t confined to his days here at Workstand. He’s a builder at heart and we get to hear about his love of fixing up cars, woodworking, creating scary Halloween costumes, and even sewing!
