I share this sentiment, because I am too, one of the billion users who access the web on their mobile device daily. What prompted the creation of Focus for iOS and Android?īermes: Let's start with the mobile web in general first, and to be honest, it’s still slow, and more and more mobile users nowadays expect fast loading websites. Neowin: We know your team was instrumental in bringing tracking protection to Firefox on mobile. My job requires me to interact and work with all kind of teams in the organization, and that’s what I love so much about the job, from business development, legal, user research, marketing, UX, engineering and QA all to way back to the user. Having access to quantitative and qualitative data of the product helps me tremendously to identify trends or new areas to improve the product.Īlso, I’m constantly rallying up other teams to get support for our plans. I help our teams understand what’s important to build, when to build it and why, and also when to say no.
Think of my role as the voice of our mobile users to all teams internally at Mozilla. Neowin: What does your current job entail?īermes: The most important elements of my current job are to have empathy for our users, understand and represent their problems, and sympathize on how we can solve their needs with our products. Also, I got the chance to make the browser the best app on mobile devices. Joining Mozilla in 2015, as product manager for mobile, was combining the best of both worlds.
Before joining Mozilla, I became interested in product management but didn't want to give up my passion for the web. I was mostly fascinated by the (mobile) web and web performance throughout my journey as an engineer. Bermes: I studied Computer Science in Germany, and started my career as an engineer.
