Hey there, my name is Justin McCullough and I’m a growth catalyst for ambitious technology companies. Past roles have included Chief Product Officer, Chief Marketing Officer, and Chief Operations Officer.
I help ambitious technology companies grow with speed and direction through customer focused strategies and values-based leadership resulting in financial growth, increased employee engagement, and happy customers. My focus is on driving growth through product teams, go-to-market strategy, and product market fit to drive incredible business outcomes.
I love people, helping others win at work and life, and leading high-impact teams.
My personal passion is centered on creating high performing teams and high trust environments where their potential is fostered and experimentation is encouraged.
I believe radical focus on the customer, their challenges, and opportunities is where innovation opportunities emerge, strategy is sharpened, and healthy roadmaps are prioritized.
Bring a can-do make-it-happen attitude with a curious mind while trusting and empowering teams do great work with clear purpose and value to the business and customer.
As a servant leader, I help companies and high-performing teams with vision, direction, and strategies that are positively shaped by customer insights and tapping into 15+ years of experience delivering e-commerce, payments, IoT, smart buildings, hardware, and software solutions.
My x-factor traits:
– Listening (seek to understand)
– Empathy
– Champion change, transformation, and improvement.
– Translate complex or ambiguous into specific and actionable.
– Ability to read the room and help diverse groups & cross functional teams work together
– Alignment for commitment and GSD (getting stuff done).
Deep expertise in operations, change management and execution through cross-functional teams and matrixed stakeholders.
Why Vision, Values, Velocity Matters?
In our performer-based culture of skills development and ladder climbing, there is no shortage of ways to develop an individual and their skills as a contributor. What is often missing is a clear mental map on how people, teams, and companies can all work together and win together.
The 3V Leadership model helps high-performers, teams, and businesses get on the same page with a common way to communicate, work together, and create success. I focus on empowering individuals, teams, and the business through transparency, collaboration and clear direction. This turns chaos into clarity, silo’s into unified fronts, and lone wolf’s into team players all invested in positive outcomes.
