A day in the life
Our TPMs work closely with key partners to innovate, create, manage, and deliver holistic programs, and ensure products are fully production ready at launch. “Production ready at launch” addresses requirements for a product to be viable for global deployment: approved financials, technical specifications and designs, supplier sourcing and qualification, testing, operations training, and similar requirements. We build and execute the plan that addresses requirements in these areas, resulting in a product or solution that is production ready for global deployment.
