The quiet force behind high-stakes projects; a balance between the complexities of leadership, the rally cry of motivation, and the operational excellence needed to deliver.
Hello, it's me. Will Brodnax.
I made this as a way to connect with a broad audience and to create a space to organized some online things, like my work, in a flexible way.
Also, I enjoy making websites and software, so it is a way to learn and have fun outside of work.
About Me
With over a decade of experience in product management, I excel at creating impactful, user-focused solutions in the streaming media and technology space. Currently, I lead CNN's Web Audio and Video team, where I've been at the forefront of innovative launches like Live Vertical Video and CNN Headlines/FAST, which generated over $1 million in revenue within a month of launch. My ability to unite cross-functional teams, deliver on ambitious goals, and shape a cohesive product vision has earned me recognition as a transformative leader.
My career in product spans a diverse range of industries, from building scalable SaaS products at startups to revolutionizing the way fans engage with sports content at Bleacher Report Live. No matter the role, my hallmark is the ability to simplify complexity, foster collaboration, and deliver meaningful results. My knack for turning bold ideas into tangible outcomes is evident in achievements like scaling live streaming platforms to over a million monthly users and launching products that continue to shape the digital landscape.
Outside of work, I am a storyteller at heart—whether crafting product pitches, penning code for side projects, or cooking elaborate meals for friends and family. I balance my professional accomplishments with a love for creativity, exploration, and lifelong learning, making me a dynamic individual always looking to connect, collaborate, and grow.
