Hi there, I'm Connor Henkel. I'm a Product Manager and a Builder.


I’m currently a Senior Product Manager at Marqeta, where I'm responsible for the onboarding process of new customers.

My product journey originally started in civil engineering consulting, where I managed our internal software processes and created scalable software customizations to help our company complete projects more efficiently. I really enjoyed working with cross-functional stakeholders, documenting requirements for complex use cases, and prioritizing work based on business need. Ultimately, I decided to pursue my MBA at Cornell University to deepen my expertise in product strategy, and to build a broad range of other skills in consumer behavior, analytics, and customer research.

Since receiving my MBA, I've worked as a Product Manager in Fintech, Innovation, eCommerce and I've also consulted for a number of B2B and B2C companies with project scopes ranging from commercializing a computer vision algorithm, to optimizing a medical service provider’s digital customer funnel.

In my free time, you can usually find me experimenting with a new hobby. I'm a self-taught barber, avid golfer, skier, menswear enthusiast, and piano songwriter. My current obsession is learning how to produce, mix, and master music.

If you'd like to learn about me, feel free to reach out.

Yours,
