Miranda was a driving force behind our Product Vision - doing a ton of the work to assemble all the existing work, supplement it with our latest thinking, bring it together into a coherent narrative and, communicate it to a wide range of stakeholders. The Product Vision is already having a strong positive impact on the whole company. It is directly shaping one of our 6 company priorities next year. It is a common language that gives teams a clear direction.
David A
VP of Product in Travel
What I saw was intelligent, critically chosen, practical, meaningful changes to our most central and critical product. I felt like the design would have a really material impact on our business. Often these kind of exercises lead to Star Trek transporters that are great for a demo but hard to imagine how they would ever happen from an engineering perspective. I could understand how what was presented could emerge. In short, it was a terrific balance of ambition and change and reality grounding. That's super hard to achieve.
Daniel Marovitz
SVP in Fintech
I specifically asked for Miranda's support on this project as I knew it required a deep design/research skillset, combined with flexibility and huge commitment. The end result received genuinely glowing feedback from VPs, our CEO & CFO. Indeed David, CFO, described it as "one of the best competitive analyses I've ever seen". This was a hallmark piece of work in defining our strategy for 2022-24 and has contributed to defining the strategic topics at a company level. It's one of the most impactful projects I've been involved with in my time here, and much of the content was driven by Miranda.
Sam H.
Director of Strategy & Ops
Miranda is hands down the best Principal UX I’ve collaborated with. Her impact in shaping and operationalising strategic priorities across the business is outstanding. She played a key role in creating processes that enabled long-term, strategic product decisions, deeply influencing our product priorities. Her work creating a global framework (CMBATS) directly shaped our company level strategic planning, effectively steering priorities towards the broader business vision. Her ability to influence and align teams helped ensure that every department was moving towards the same strategic objectives.
Danielle P.
Senior Director of Product
From the moment she joined the initiative, Miranda asked the right questions, challenged assumptions and exposed potential gaps. These questions reflected her experience and her ability to anticipate issues based on her vast experience with past projects, where similar gaps led to inefficiencies. These questions had a big impact on our approach. This way, she helped ensure that we started on a more solid footing, with a clearer sense of purpose and direction.
