About

Red Maple Research is Paul O’Hagan’s passion project. I’ve built this website to provide me a forum to provide my views on technology, business, and what it takes to be a highly successful Product Manager and build highly successful Product Management teams.

Over the course of my 25+ year career (and still going!) I have had the opportunity to work with many amazing leaders and organizations. Whether CEOs, CPOs, HR leaders, junior Product Managers, legal teams or marketing leaders, everyone has had influence on how I see the world and opportunities.
