Full Lifecycle Product Owner

Hi, I'm
Joseph Dumont

A forward-looking product leader energized by turning complex challenges into elegant solutions โ€” spanning artificial intelligence to cloud, leveraging modern product definition, development, and deployment strategies. Personally passionate about ocean conservancy, capturing the world through a lens, and logging miles on the open road.

About me

Life beyond the keyboard

I carve out time to stay curious โ€” whether that's pushing through a run, diving into the ocean, capturing a moment through a lens, or tinkering with emerging tech.

๐Ÿƒ๐Ÿšด๐ŸŠ
Athlete

Running, cycling, and swimming fuel my competitive drive and keep me sharp. I've completed a sprint triathlon and am actively training toward an Ironman 70.3 โ€” a goal that demands discipline, grit, and a love of the journey.

๐ŸŒŠ
Underwater

Sailing, snorkeling, and scuba diving around the ocean are core passions. The sea is where I feel most alive.

Photography

Traveling the world has given me the good fortune to capture incredible moments, from the dramatic cliffs of the Great Ocean Road in Australia to the serene sunrises of the North Atlantic shoreline.

Artificial Intelligence

Passionate about the transformative potential of AI โ€” from generative models to agentic systems โ€” staying ahead of the curve by actively building, experimenting, and earning certifications in emerging technologies.

โš›๏ธ
Quantum Computing

Diving deep into the frontier of quantum โ€” competing in IBM's global challenge series, earning certifications, and exploring quantum circuits and algorithms on real IBM hardware since 2022.

Product Ownership
Storytelling as a Superpower for Product Owners

Data informs, but stories inspire. How mastering the art of narrative can make you a more effective product leader โ€” from backlog reviews to executive presentations.

Training for an Ironman 70.3: Lessons from a Sprint Triathlete

What I've learned balancing swim, bike, and run training with a full-time career โ€” and why the mental game matters just as much as the miles.

Training for the NYC Marathon (My First Abbott World Major)

I was one of the fortunate 1% to get selected in the lottery. Now the work begins to get to the Start line and to the Finish line for my first Abbott medal.

What I bring to the table

A blend of client evangelism, product leadership, and proven technical experience to deliver modern tools to users.
