Jenny Kan
@jennykan
Hi, I am Jenny, Product Strategy Leader with hands-on experience in driving 0-1 strategies. Open to relocate. Dutch/ Hong Kong Citizenship.
What I'm looking for
For more than 15 years, I’ve helped organisations turn complex customer and business challenges into clear product direction, new propositions and tangible outcomes. My work has included ServiceNow, Nike, BMW, ASML, Aviva, DHL and the European Commission.
I’m at my best in early, ambiguous stages: identifying the real opportunity, aligning people around a direction and moving quickly from strategy into prototypes, experiments and execution.
Alongside my corporate work, I build products, ventures and communities. I co-founded SkyCircle, an AI strategy and compliance advisory, and Product Pulse, an online product community with monthly events. I created KnowTheAct, a plain-English EU AI Act guide for consumers, and developed the AI Amplifier Framework to help product teams connect strategy, building and validation. I also served as the Founding President of Amstelveen Toastmasters.
