DANBI LEE
Hi! I'm a Product Manager with international experience working at the intersection of product, geospatial technology, data acquisition, geo-UGC, content management and operations, for both B2B (web) and B2C (web, mobile) products.
I'm passionate about building products that impact the way we design, build, or experience the real world around us!
2007 - Urban Planning
I started my career in urban planning, design, and policy analysis where I honed my skills in urban design, graphic design, stakeholder engagement, visioning, and planning policy development for cities across Canada.
2011 - Geomatics Engineering
Inspired by the power of GIS in planning I embarked on a new path to become a geomatics engineer, with a focus on remote sensing techniques in cities. I wanted to use data to see and study the cities we were transforming in a digital way.
2016 - Geospatial Analysis
I joined Arup as a senior GIS Analyst to lead GIS projects and build digital products for major urban infrastructure projects. Here I developed expertise in product ownership, product management, UX research, UI design, and data strategies.
2019 - Product Management
Eager for new adventures, I moved over to Niantic as a Product Manager for its geodata platform. Here, I work cross-functionally with an incredibly nimble team to deliver an ecosystem of products to collect and serve the geospatial data that fuels games like Pokémon GO, Ingress, and Pikmin Bloom.
