About Me
Hi! I’m Blair. My wife and I live in Pittsboro, North Carolina with our baby daughter and two doggos. I mostly write about enterprise software, product management, technology, culture and whatever else I care to ramble about on any particular day. I try not to blog about politics.
- Work now: Principal Product Manager at SAS Software
- Work then: Demandware (now the Salesforce Commerce Cloud); IBM; global health project management (South Sudan, Kenya, Vietnam) and Peace Corps Cameroon (❤ 🇨🇲)
- Before that: The University of Virginia (go hoos) and business school at Duke.
- Not work: Backcountry hiking, powerlifting, good cocktails and reading/writing.

My Writing
I have authored or co-authored two books:
- Building Products for the Enterprise: Product Management in Enterprise Software – my friend Ben Gaines and I co-authored this book on (you’ll never guess!) product management in enterprise software, published by O’Reilly Media.
- The Second Transit is a work of science fiction (or speculative fiction, depending on your definition). You can read more about it at that link, view/download a sample chapter, or find the book on Amazon.
Here’s a full list of my blog posts, in reverse-chrono order, that you can peruse.
My 4 most popular blog posts of all time, based on traffic:
- Adobe and Transformation
- You Should Be Paying Attention to North Carolina
- Learn to Sell
- Paying for the Class of 2039
Stay in touch
I send out an irregular email update with a list of the most interesting stuff I’ve read on the web, plus a summary of my own writing. Subscriber growth is strong and click-throughs are high. You can also read past issues of my email updates at that same link.
