About Me

An Evolved Product Specialist & AI Practitioner

Leading Enterprise AI Adoption at Rivian

As a Digital Product Analyst & Product Manager on Rivian's Enterprise Productivity Team, I own change management and communications for organization-wide AI adoption. I designed an AI Training Framework spanning 15 distinct employee personas and helped organize and run Rivian's company-wide AI upskilling event, which over 6,000 employees participated in. The hackathon component of that event surfaced projects now in development that target real operational pain points and are projected to save the company millions of dollars.

Building AI Features at

Kenvue/Johnson & Johnson

As a Product Analyst & Scrum Master on the AllergyCast team, I worked directly alongside machine learning engineers and data scientists to bring AI-driven features into a live consumer health app, raising its rating to 4.0+ stars — while simultaneously managing the Zyrtec and Benadryl digital platforms and the loyalty program that drove an 11% sales lift.

Experience, Professionalism & Results That Matter


I'm Naweed Qadir (NQ) - a Product Manager, Product Owner, Scrum Master, and Digital Product Analyst who builds AI-driven products and leads enterprise AI adoption. I'm a Certified Scrum Master (CSM) and Certified Scrum Product Owner (CSPO) with 10+ years leading product strategy and Agile delivery across automotive, pharmaceuticals/healthcare, retail, fintech, and education.

Currently at Rivian Automotive, I designed and led the company's largest enterprise AI adoption initiative to date- engaging 6,000+ employees and driving a $100M AI value portfolio through a company-wide AI hackathon & festival I built from the ground up. Earlier, I partnered directly with ML engineers and data scientists at Kenvue/Johnson & Johnson to ship the AI-driven features inside the AllergyCast app.

What ties it together: I turn ambiguous transformation goals into outcomes people can measure - $33M+ incremental revenue, $130K+ in cost savings, 20%+ feature adoption growth, and now, enterprise-scale AI adoption.

About Me

Creativity Meets Technology & AI


I am a versatile problem-solver with a passion for blending creativity, technology, and agile leadership to drive meaningful change.


🎵 As a musician, I’ve released three albums and multiple singles, each a product of structured planning, creative vision, and iterative refinement—just like a well-run project.


📸 As a photographer, I was honored to be a finalist in the 2012 Canon EOS5 APAC Creative Photography Competition, applying storytelling and composition to capture moments with precision and intent.


These creative pursuits sharpened my project management instincts: enabling me to know when to lead, when to pivot, and how to turn vision into deliverables.


🏞️ I thrive outdoors, enjoy public speaking and mentoring, and stay active through various sports. However, what truly fuels me is my curiosity about innovation and emerging technology.

My Approach

I have had the privileges to work with businesses from startups to their maturity stage. I have been working with some of the fantastic entrepreneurs for the last 15 years. I understand culture and diversity. My solution and discussion are always transparent and straightforward. I not only speak technical but also business language to make my client understand how well I have followed their business, processes, expectations, and the challenges that they are facing. I believe in simplicity, and my solutions are straightforward and transparent. Technology is integrated to make the business process faster and error free. Not to mention making it less complicated. I am the bridge between business and technical users.
Let's Catch-Up

What I Do Best

Even though in post Waterfall methodology era of Agile everything - drawing up a proper project plan is still a pride of any project manager. It is because the typical questions asked by clients remains the same. Queries always include the timeframe of the project or task completion, cost of phases, what and how will it be delivered. Most importantly, the project plan helps you ascertain whether the project is on track or not. My project plan will always include phases of projects, tasks in each stage, task start and end dates, interdependencies, and milestones. Dynamic Gantt chart is my favorite, and in some cases, I put together Power BI dashboard for interactive visual reporting.

Are you happy
with your PMO?

Project or Product initiation is often triggered by the needs and wants of the departments. In most cases, stakeholders start without any formal planning. The common assumption is that it will be simple and manageable. No project procedures are followed. Very little communication occurs between departments and teams. Suddenly, budgets are overrun. Business finds themselves in a sticky situation. Sometimes, a so-called PMO is established, but no one takes the initiative to introduce the daily standup procedures or methodologies. There are hypes about Agile and Hybrid, but no training or change management in place!
