"While completing my degree, I focused a great deal on the management of Retail Product Lifecycle. I am very familiar with the product lifecycle stages, particularly with product management in the hardware sector. This experience that I bring will help Facebook approach the competitive landscape of VR and hardware, where we must know about the market, ever-shifting demand, and fierce product competition. Proper product lifecycle management is also critical to preventing deadstock, a situation that does not benefit anyone involved in the product delivery or merchant process. The 4 stages that I understand are introduction, growth, maturity, and decline. I believe these stages apply to nearly every product on the market. Some move more quickly through these stages than others, especially if they are a product such as a specific app or game. Other products are evergreen and will move through this lifecycle much slower. I look forward to using my knowledge in the PM role to help Facebook further succeeded."
