Mario Avalos, Senior Product Designer

When Karsten joined, our small team lacked visibility among senior leadership, often stalling our ability to secure resources for essential customer-focused initiatives. Karsten made it a priority to quickly implement a new (30, 60, 90) framework for presenting our work. He coached the team on strategic storytelling, helping us focus on the customer problem we were solving and the potential ROI. This approach not only elevated our projects but also helped me grow significantly as a designer.

As a result of his leadership, our team was able to quickly grow and take on new challenges within Axon’s RTO pillar. Karsten is a leader who invests in his people and delivers tangible results, and I would be happy to work with him again.
