EDT 9:30am today in New York City, former colleagues of my previous company—Niu Technologies—started the IPO at Nasdaq.

This is another milestone my fellows have achieved. As once a part of the team for a long ride, I do know how hard they have worked to make it happen. Congratulations to all Niu fellows and early investors.

Some friends have asked if I regret to give up my stakes at Niu to come to study in the US. My answer was, “a thirst for knowledge is the desire among all desires.”

Recently, I started job searching. I’m especially good at cold-starting a new product. I can do a full set of product creation works—from business strategy analysis, product positioning, user research, ideation, concept design to detailed product experience design (both SW & HW), product development management and product launch with marketing fellows. Thanks to the education I received at the University of Washington, I have also touched the US IP and corporate laws. I’m an ideal candidate for a product designer or product manager for a new product line. Please feel free to leave me a message if you are interested to have a talk.

My 2017 — The Road of Transformation

This blog was originally written by Ryan Wu in Chinese on Dec 28, 2017: https://catalium.net/my_2017-cn/

In August 2017, I resigned from my post in Beijing as a product manager. Later, I came to the States to pursue the master degree. It was a solid year, it deserves a good summary. I’m writing the rewind at my apartment in Bellevue, WA. “Once recall the days in my secondary school time in China, then look at our living experience here in the US, it seems to be another lifetime,” said my friend who works at Microsoft HQ in Redmond.

The summary for 2016 was not written due to some reasons, but as the last two years were highly twisted and critical for me, I’ll cover 2016 in this 2017 summary.

一名北漂产品的赴美留学路 — 2017 年度总结

English version available: https://catalium.net/my_2017-en/

今年 8 月,我辞去在北京的产品经理工作,来到美国华盛顿大学攻读硕士学位。这一年发生了很多事,非常值得记录和总结。我在美国华盛顿州贝尔维尤的公寓写下这篇回顾,用前几天一位在微软 Redmond 总部工作的中国朋友的话说,「回想起自己初中高中的日子,再看我们现在在美国经历的生活,恍如隔世」。

2016 年的总结因为一些事耽误没写,由于 1617 这两年一脉相承,对我来讲非常关键,就在这里合并到 17 年总结里了。

Milan Trip-5: Magic Day

一个月前,借着参加EICMA 2015展览的机会,第一次出了国。从没想过自己第一次出去是因为公事,更没想过会去那么远的地方。在那11天里,经历了许多有意思的事情,让我看到了一个新世界。

接下来的几天,我会梳理米兰之行,把遇见的精彩分享给大家。


第五篇,魔幻的一天

EICMA毕展后的第一天,我组织了小牛在米兰的拍片。这一天里,做了好几件以前没做过的事,后来因为运输的任务,看了美丽的科莫湖,顺便去了趟瑞士,午夜回到米兰,在温州侨民开的点心店吃了碗中国面条,各种新鲜的体验浓缩在一天,魔幻至极。

感谢万能的H.X.(一万个赞),我们组了一支拍片小队,包括化妆、模特、摄影、运输,我则负责协调执行。

第二篇,展会工作

EICMA (Esposizione Internazionale Ciclo Motociclo e Accessori), 即米兰国际摩托车及配件展,是从1914年开始举办的世界上最重要的两轮车展会,每年一次,今年是第73届(一战二战你懂得)。在EICMA上,国际主流机车企业,如HONDA、Piaggio、BMW、Ducati、Kawasaki、Harley-Davidson、KTM以及诸多一线配件企业如Bosch、Michelin、Dainese等等都会参展,很多重要车型也会选择这一时机发布,比如Ducati今年在米兰展期间发布了XDiavel,BMW发布了众人关注的G310 R.
