Krys The PM (“KPM”) is a product management blog run by Krystofer Rosales — “Krys” for short.
Krys comes from 10+ years of experience ranging from start-ups and scale-ups across a wide range of industries (retail, wholesale, real estate, utilities, managed IT services, etc.). He graduated with a Master’s in Information Systems Management in 2015 with a specialization in Project Management and Bachelor’s in Information & Computer Sciences in 2011 with a minor in Sociology.
Krys did not start his professional career as a product manager. His career started in food service, took him through eCommerce, then warehousing, and even into the world of taxes at one point. For quite some time, Krys’ career did not have a definite direction.
However, in 2015, Krys met the mentor he didn’t know he needed in his manager at the time. Through mentorship and coaching, Krys found a commonality across every role he held in the past: they always revolved around solving a specific problem for a specific group of people. It was at this point that his career in product management officially took shape and the rest became history.
Today, Krys pays it forward by sharing his experiences in product management through his blog and by coaching IT Leaders to help get them their next promotion.
