About Walter Hermsen
Product Management at Google/North/TomTom/Philips
I am a product exec with a long track record of building 'world-first' innovative user experiences with real business impact. For example, I was VP of product at TomTom, where I built a profitable global sports wearable business from zero to millions of users by uncovering key user insights and building a product roadmap around that. Also, as VP of Product I helped scale TomTom to tens of millions of car navigation devices. More recently, I was VP of Product at a start-up called North where I helped create and ship all-day wearable AR smart glasses. We got great reviews, and three years later, we are still the industry benchmark and got very close to product-market fit before getting acquired by Google. At Google, I focused on prototypes, navigation, safety and privacy. My strengths are distilling user insights, and innovating to create unique customer value with devices, online services and data analysis. I also love building and leading highly innovative product teams, with a decade of experience as VP of Product at North and TomTom guiding the work of hundreds of engineers.
