Will Page
Capital One - Sr. PdM
I joined the People Strategy & Analytics team at Capital One to hone product abilities like discovery, design, and delivery, as well as build a deeper understanding of software and big data. We are building Talent Acquisition Optimization, a hiring system that uses predictive analytics to enable system-level changes to achieve hiring outcomes. Moreover, I manage a diversity sourcing product that enables recruiting managers to improve the diversity of their applicant pipeline.
LightGuide is a projector-based augmented reality (AR) application that delivers work instructions to manufacturing operators. I started there in 2017 as an industrial engineering co-op. During college, I primarily made demo AR systems, led the building of the company's sales and fulfillment process, and conducted product analysis and human factors research. After graduating, I came on full-time as a project manager, leading deployments of LightGuide systems and overhauling our company workflow's technology stack.
My academic background is in systems engineering with a focus in human factors engineering and organizational science. I focus on human elements within systems, having concentrated my studies on ergonomics, cognition, and work design. This has enabled me to work on and establish complex systems at most organizations I am a part of, especially at LightGuide, and throughout my personal life.
I try to put intellectual contribution at the forefront. I have been fortunate to have had the opportunity to present at multiple conferences about augmented reality and adoption of technology, as well as writing multiple case studies and white papers as part of my undergraduate thesis.
Over Q4 of 2021, a team of 10 others and myself launched the Mad Scientist NFT Collection as the first part of The Crypto Labz enterprise. Although the first launch floundered (we broke even), it was a great technological achievement to combine blockchain, smart contracts, 3D printing, and AR all in one product launch.
