What They Say
Manfred Hettenkofer
Director and Vice President for Product Management
When I started as a CPQ product manager at VMWare there were many UI-related issues in that application. Lucky for me, Ed became the lead UX designer for CPQ and I knew I had a partner with whom it was possible to make CPQ a delight for our users to work with. His professionalism in approaching every issue and finding solutions that solve the business challenge at hand with a best-in-class user experience while staying within budget was instrumental in getting CPQ to the next level. Ed's vast UX knowledge and guidance were crucial during many constructive design conversations, user testing sessions, and final design decisions. I'm glad I had the good fortune to work with Ed as he was key in making my product into an app my users love to use and I can be proud of.

Ed, I can’t tell you how much I appreciate everything you’ve done; without you CPQ++ would have fallen apart a long time ago. The love and attention you gave the application was obvious to all of us. I also enjoyed getting to know you for your projects outside of VMware. Thank you for sharing your video, pre and post-production, skills and knowledge. I’m sure you’ll continue to create awesome work.I’ll miss our chats during our 1:1s and Designer Lounge meetings.Thank you for everything, Ed. Please stay in touch.
