Jordan Strauss

Principal Product Manager

I lead product teams that have a delusional obsession with changing the world. (And sometimes we feel like we've gotten just a bit closer.)

Current Role

Director, Haulage - ASI Robots

Currently bringing together tech teams across Perception/GNC, Hardware, and Safety to revolutionize what's possible with autonomous construction haulage. We iterate and maintain a vertical suite of tools to oversee the relationships contained within the modern multi-agent construction site, through continous development and rapid deployment.

Experience

Proven track record of innovation and R&D at world-class hyperscalers. (That's the cute way of saying I've failed a ton.)

In most of my roles, I've thrived where I can work very closely with engineering. I'm definitely technical, and my success in leading teams comes from building directly alongside my direct reports.
