PSN programs are produced by highly experienced professionals who collectively have led the strategy, development and commercialization of over 150 products. While we've done the job and can understand your challenges, our aim isn't to promote our expertise. Rather, we use our expertise to find, synthesis and deliver what you need from the extensive network of practitioners that we have cultivated.
Management Team
Jim Berardone, CEO and President
The Product Strategy Network is a concept that Jim has believed in for many years - a means for strategy managers to learn from the know-how of their peers and to put this knowledge to use quickly and effectively. As one of the founders, he has led the strategy and operations of all aspects of this organization. With 21 years of industry experience including managing the product management department, and planning, developing or commercializing nearly 70 technology products and services, he is able to understand and respond to the unique challenges of the membership.
Prior to the Product Strategy Network, he held management positions with Fujitsu and Perot Systems where he directed the product management, development, commercialization and delivery teams for new, innovative technology products and solutions for the enterprise. Earlier, he was a product manager with Nets Inc., Industry.Net and SAE International where he led the development, marketing and delivery of hosted e-commerce software services, content management software and application software products.

Fred Marroni has over 20 years of senior management and product development experience covering software, medical devices, and biotechnology.
