James Smith
Hakkiri
Co-Founder
As a senior cross-functional leader, James has first-hand experience with many of the pervasive problems in Agile product development; endless process debates, large investments in Business Intelligence initiatives that yield few actionable metrics, and an inordinate amount of time spent on providing status reports to stakeholders. Through many iterations across different products, at different companies, he has devised a set of methods and a platform that solves these problems and enables organizations to be laser focused on the great products and features they want to bring to market. Together with Robert Orefice, they founded a company called Hakkiri with the mission that process and analytics should accelerate and elevate, not burden and box in.
