Excited to share that I've been promoted to VP of Product at Zephyr Systems Global. 🎉 This means I'll be overseeing the full wind product portfolio — trade winds, sea breezes, monsoons, AND the new jet stream product line we're launching in Q3. The jet stream is our most ambitious product yet. It's 10km altitude, 300+ km/h sustained speeds, and it affects literally every commercial flight on the planet. No pressure. Thank you to everyone who supported the wind portfolio's growth from a niche atmospheric product to a 6-continent platform. We shipped it. Together. 🚀 Let's take this offline. (Just kidding. Let's take this to the stratosphere.) #WindPM #VPofProduct #JetStreamLaunch #ZephyrSystems

The hardest part of my job isn't the wind. It's stakeholder management. This week: - Received a formal complaint from the Netherlands Sailing Federation about 'inconsistent westerlies in the North Sea corridor' - Received a formal thank-you from the Danish Kite Association for 'the best gusty conditions in a decade' - Received a cease-and-desist (not legally binding, but emotionally aggressive) from an architecture firm in Dubai requesting 'zero wind within a 2km radius of their new tower' These three requests are physically incompatible. The wind cannot be steady, gusty, and absent simultaneously. I've explained this. Repeatedly. The architects have scheduled a follow-up meeting. I'll be there. With data. 📊 #WindPM #StakeholderManagement #PhysicsIsPhysics

Sprint retro today. Key takeaways: ✅ What went well: Trade wind consistency was at an all-time high. The new monitoring dashboards are working. ⚠️ What needs improvement: Sea breeze handoff timing between coastal and inland teams. We lost 3 hours on a handoff delay in the Mediterranean corridor. 🚫 What we should stop doing: Promising custom wind patterns for individual stakeholders. I know the kite festival in Denmark wants gusty northwest at exactly 14:00, but we are not a bespoke wind service. We are a platform. Velocity this sprint: 47 story points. Our highest ever. The team is shipping. 💨 #AgileWeather #SprintRetro #WindPM
