Nive Raghavan
Product Manager, Strategist, and Innovator in San Francisco, California
Born in Chennai. Raised in the (Silicon) Valley. Educated in Indiana. Psyched for the future.
I have a thirst for knowledge (but apparently not enough water) which often fuels me to jump right into everything I put my mind to. For instance, I had such an adrenaline rush from taking one high school entrepreneurship class that I switched my career ambitions (and college major) from film to business - much to the relief of my parents.
INTJ at heart (desperately trying to train myself so that "I" turns into an "E"), I am excited to become a smart and creative disruptor in the worlds of corporate strategy and product management. My 9-5s consist of requirement gathering, user stories, and wireframing at an auto-tech/IOT start-up.
I'm not too sure if I'll ever be completely satisfied with where I am in life, but I'd be tickled pink if I can accomplish one of these three in my lifetime (in no particular order):
1. Create the next market strategy campaign of the "Coca-Cola Polar Bear" caliber
2. Found a hot Silicon Valley Company located in the EAST BAY (or maybe just fix 580 West)
3. Get past page 50 of Chaucer's The Canterbury Tales
