We are excited to introduce Kevon Lovelace, who has recently joined the Refined team as our new Senior Product Manager for the Site Building Team! ✨ Kevon brings a wealth of experience and a passion for problem-solving that we are thrilled to welcome aboard. Kevon shared a bit about his role and what excites him most: 💬 "I was hired as a Senior Product Manager for the Site Building Team. What excites me the most about the new role is the fact that I get to work with a diverse group of individuals to help streamline our customers' journey in building and personalizing their sites." 🛣️ His path to product management is both unique and inspiring. Kevon’s journey began in tech support, where he honed his skills in problem-solving before transitioning into UX design and eventually product management. 💬 "While most individuals arrive in product management through engineering or business, my path was a bit humble in its approach. I worked in tech support for a number of years after college, responding to basic customer requests, and I found that I was good at solving problems efficiently.” Kevon wanted to find a way to continue to solve customer problems, but to also utilize his design skills. That was where he found out about UX design. 💬 “After a few years working as a product designer, while interviewing for a UX lead position, I was asked if I would be willing to move into Product Management. Always open to new challenges, I decided to take on the role, and I think it was one of the best decisions I could have made, as working in Product Management has become a passion." 🧲 Kevon was particularly drawn to Refined because of our mission and his own experiences with Confluence and Jira. His connection with our team solidified his decision to join. 💬 "What made me interested in Refined was that they were solving a problem that I had when working with Confluence and Jira. I was also taken by their overall vision and approach. After meeting and interviewing with the individuals within the company, I felt a really good connection with people, and I felt like this would be a great place for me to grow as well as share my skills." Looking ahead, Kevon is eager to embrace a culture of learning and curiosity in his new role. 💬 "Learning! I think to be effective as a Product Manager, it’s important to embrace vulnerability and a deep sense of curiosity to better understand the problems and challenges your customers are experiencing and business respectively to consistently build better products that solve real problems and challenges." Welcome to the team, Kevon! We’re excited to see all the great things you’ll accomplish here at Refined. 🌿 #WelcomeKevon #ProductManagement #SeniorProductManager #NewComer #NewBeginnings

Wondering what it’s like to help out a #humanitarian giant? 🇨🇦 The Canadian Red Cross (CRC) is a superhero of humanitarian efforts, helping thousands of families each year. But behind the scenes, managing logistics for 2,000 employees and 15,000 volunteers was a colossal task — until CRC teamed up with Refined. In 2021, CRC tackled 100 large-scale emergencies and distributed $64M in aid. Handling all of that was a challenge, especially with #support requests continually rolling in via email. 📧 The game-changer? An overhauled #ITSM ticketing solution. 🌟 We helped CRC create custom support sites for different user groups, making the process super simple and cutting through the confusion. With multiple sites launched, CRC now has easy, bilingual, and user-friendly portals. ✔️ 📈 This efficient system has helped CRC manage their internal processes far better, ensuring that volunteers and employees get the support they need promptly. As CRC plans to expand these sites, their support infrastructure continues to evolve, enhancing their ability to respond to emergencies and support communities in need. All in all, we’re happy to have helped make the Canadian Red Cross’s amazing work even more effective. 👍 Check out our case study and see the full story ⬇️ https://hubs.li/Q02FyFKb0 #Atlassian #JSM
