1 Minute Cover Letter

Mano Balasubramaniam

Let us do this differently. You must be bored reading all the cover letters. If it’s human, I am sorry if this is an algorithm, not so much. I am “humbly confident” to get the right product shipped to solve a pain point and delight a customer.


  • I created a Robot to interact with Humans for SoftBank Robotics.

  • I delivered a $35 smartphone for Mozilla

  • Currently, I am working on 10 Products in two portfolios, with minimal resources (1-2) within a 1-year duration at GAP Inc.


Empathy for customers, businesses, colleagues, direct reports is key to success. I like to give equal importance to journey(process) and destination(deliverable). Product Management is not only an intersection of Business and Technology. It is about

  • Creating Vision

  • Strategy

  • Execution.

I look up to mentors like

  • Ken Norton "You really can’t solve organizational problems by hiring more people"

  • Sachin Rekhi “Great design is invisible, bad design gets noticed”

  • Adam Nash "What game we play and how to keep scores"

Be kind, Enjoy the journey and Deliver results.
