PORTLAND, Ore.–(BUSINESS WIRE)– Customer engagement company Urban Airship today announced Greg Biggers has joined its senior leadership team as vice president of product and design. Biggers will be responsible for leading product management, product design, product discovery and user research.

Prior to that, Greg served as Chief Product and Marketing Officer for SenseLabs and Genomera where he led product, design, engineering, marketing and sales teams.
