I’m Hannah Gehring, CPA, Product Manager, and lover of all life's puzzles.
About Me
I'm a Product Manager with a foundation in auditing, where I developed a systems thinking mindset by analyzing how entire companies interconnect. That experience taught me to spot patterns, uncover root causes, and understand how small changes ripple across a system. I now apply this to building products that align business strategy and user needs. Right now, I focus on developing metrics and dashboards that help construction management teams make faster, smarter decisions.
I'm also active in promoting diversity in construction, serving in leadership roles on local and national Women in Construction committees.
Outside of work, I enjoy cycling, reading, scuba diving, and hosting dinner parties. I'm also learning Spanish and make time for yoga and meditation to stay balanced.
I'm always enthusiastic about connecting with like-minded people who share my passion for finding data-driven solutions. Whether it's diving into the latest industry trends or exploring potential collaborations, I'm excited to connect with you. Let's build a better tomorrow!
