Welcome to ThornHQ

A 20+ year journey in building, leading, and shipping great products

Hi, I’m Richard Thorn, I’ve spent over two decades in application and software product management shaping platforms, leading teams, and solving hard problems at the intersection of technology and strategy.

This site is my way of sharing that journey. You’ll find major product milestones, case studies from my time at Microsoft and beyond, personal side projects, and reflections on what I’ve learned along the way.

ThornHQ is always evolving, just like any good product. If something sparks an idea, or you want to see more of a topic, don’t hesitate to reach out.
