For our first Meet the Team<\/strong> series we’d like you to meet Simon Cast, ProdPad Co-founder and CPO. We asked him a few fun questions so you can get to know him a bit better. He does lead our dev and product teams after all!<\/p>\n\n\n

Simon Cast, ProdPad Co-founder and CPO<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

What do you do at ProdPad?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

I’m responsible for both the Product Management side of ProdPad, which includes working with the technical team to deliver the product that we want; working through the feedback and ideas we collate; and working with Janna to come up with an agreed roadmap and execute on it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What’s your favourite productivity app?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

ProdPad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And your favourite time-wasting app?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Twitter!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Who’s the most famous person you\u2019ve ever met?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

I suppose my grandfather. He was Prime Minister of Australia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is your favourite thing about working remotely?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Not commuting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We’re asking the hard questions now – puppies or kittens?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Both.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tell us a fun fact about you<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

I started out as a Rocket Scientist.
