I’ve been in your shoes. With nearly 20 years of experience as a Product Leader, Consultant, and Software Engineer in industries ranging from Manufacturing to Aerospace to Energy and more, I know IoT and Product Management. I’ve worked for Fortune 500 companies and growth-stage start-ups, as well as product and services companies. I have experience managing IoT product portfolios and implementing end-to-end IoT solutions—including hardware, embedded software, cloud platforms, and user applications.

Today, I work as a coach and advisor to top IoT companies around the world. I share my expertise through online IoT courses and in-person at Stanford, where I teach top professionals from Silicon Valley.

The Internet of Things is much more than your smart toaster. The same technology from that toaster can be applied to complex systems that have the potential to solve some of the world’s biggest problems. From Energy to Healthcare, Agriculture to Transportation, IoT innovation can bring meaningful change to our world. IoT products can accelerate the integration of renewable energy sources into the Smart Grid… help ensure remote communities have access to clean water… optimize routes for waste management… monitor crops to maximize food production on smart farms… the possibilities are endless!

As an IoT coach, I’ve provided training and resources to thousands of Product Managers across the globe, empowering them to capitalize on the IoT revolution and find success. I look forward to sharing my expertise with you!

There’s a lot of buzz around IoT, but not a lot of actionable information on how to create or manage products.

My goal is to demystify IoT and provide a real-world guide to IoT Product Management. That’s why I created the IoT Decision Framework, a comprehensive method for IoT Product Management, and launched DanielElizalde.com. With courses to expand IoT knowledge, certifications to provide skills, and resources on strategy and best practices, I’m here to help professionals and businesses take their IoT skills to the next level.

I also teach in-person IoT training courses at Stanford Continuing Studies, and am thrilled to share that my Product Management for the Internet of Things course has the highest demand of any course in Stanford Continuing Studies’ history.

As an intro to my IoT philosophy, check out my blog post Internet of Things: A Primer for Product Managers.

Outside of technology, I enjoy juggling, tennis, drumming, salsa dancing, and racecar driving. But most of all, I love my friends, my family, and my amazing wife, Megan.
