Aarish Grover
Product Lead at Uber
Product Lead @ Uber | Okta | Founder
I believe that Software should be invisible. That it should be underpinned by robust frameworks and be crafted to dynamically evolve by gleaning insight from High-Volume Data. Ultimately though, it should abstract all of it away to provide a seamless experience across any screen!

I bring to the table a core PM skill-set (honed at Okta), get-shit-done approach (cut my teeth as a Founder) and effective communication (Consulting and public speaking). 

Always on the lookout for impactful opportunities. Send me a note and let's chat!
