Gerard Galasso

Senior Product Designer, NYC

Senior Product Designer. I owned a Bloomberg sales product area.

At Bloomberg I owned the Enterprise Intelligence product domain. Org Chart is a feature of that product. Sole designer on McKinsey slide reuse, then Quotes as a slide-in module at Chase.

Overview. Firm, product, pipeline.

Bloomberg Enterprise Intelligence

One place to get up to speed on a firm

Problem. Taking on new coverage meant hunting spend tools, the existing account system, spreadsheets, notes, LinkedIn, and whoever last owned the account.

Role. Senior Product Designer, UX Employee Collaboration. May 2023 to August 2026. I owned the product domain.

Constraint. Reps would not trust commentary, strategy, or sentiment without knowing who entered it, when, and whether it was system-generated.

Proof. Trust of source and authorship was the risk. Lab sessions are method, not the outcome.

Org Chart. Prototype. Fictional firm.

Bloomberg Org Chart

Map who matters without rebuilding the org from memory

Problem. Sales reps stitched client structure from spreadsheets, shared notes, and memory before they could plan coverage.

Role. Senior Product Designer, UX Employee Collaboration. May 2023 to August 2026. Feature of Enterprise Intelligence.

Constraint. The model has to survive co-heads, dotted lines, and sub-desks without becoming another thing to maintain by hand.

Proof. Upkeep was the adoption risk. Interviews are not the proof.

Paste hero. UX ideas for reuse.

McKinsey Slide reuse

Paste without importing the source master

Problem. Copying a slide into a client deck created orphan masters, layout breakage, and a ticket to the graphics team.

Role. Product Design Lead, Technology & Digital Co-Creative Problem Solving. March 2022 to March 2023. Sole product designer on the custom PowerPoint platform.

Constraint. The existing format tool only converted to the firm template. Most reuse landed in a client template.

Proof. Survey counts are method, not the outcome.

Quotes after. Slide-in panel. Price, chart, Overview.

JPMorgan Quotes

Price, chart, Overview. Slide-in module.

Problem. Opening a detailed quote from Portfolio sent customers into a different section of the site. They wanted last price, chart, and news out in front, not a closed list of destinations.

Role. UX Design Lead, Digital Wealth Management, JPMorgan Chase & Co. / IHS Markit. September 2016 to November 2020.

Constraint. Close had to return to the page the customer came from, on the design system for Chase digital investment products.

Proof. Close returns to the originating page.
