Valerie White
CPO
Meet Valerie, a petroleum engineer who decided to pursue new horizons after working in the glamorous world of oil and gas. She leveled up her skills by obtaining a Master’s degree in Engineering Technology Management from the Colorado School of Mines. She then traded in her hardhat for a product development cap and worked for a smaller Learning and Development company, where she honed her self-teaching skills to become a jack-of-all-trades.
Next up, she took on the challenge of being an Agile Program Manager at Twilio, because why not add another skill to the list? But that wasn’t enough excitement for Valerie. She then left the stability of Twilio to become a Chief Product Officer for a crypto elearning startup, because she’s always been someone who embraces risk and the pursuit of passion.
When she’s not designing products, you can find Valerie wrestling pebbles with her bagle (Basset Hound/Beagle mix), Sadie, and pondering the next skill she needs to learn to bring value to her current opportunity.
