Cap Watkins
Cap Watkins is the CXO at Primary, where he's responsible for Engineering/Design/Product, Creative, and People (oh my!).
In the recent past, he was a professional leadership coach and organizational consultant at his company Practical Works, helping senior contributors, first-time managers and managers-of-managers grow and evolve in their roles.
Before that, he was the VP of Design at BuzzFeed, where he managed Product Design, and also did various stints managing Brand Design, the IT Department and Branded Content Operations.
Prior to BuzzFeed, Cap worked with design teams at Etsy and Amazon, and was the first designer at a handful of startups that didn’t quite make it. He believes in cross-functional, collaborative teams who share goals and accountability across disciplines.
