More About Me
Product leader with over 15 years of experience delivering business outcomes through great customer experiences. I've led teams building both hardware and software products across various industries including Home Security and Eldercare, Property Management, Legaltech, and Fintech, consistently driving growth and innovation.
My approach combines strategic thinking with hands-on execution. I solve problems by ruthlessly prioritizing, defining product roadmaps, and aligning requirements with engineering to deliver incremental value to customers. I believe in continuous discovery, rapid iteration, and making data-informed decisions.
Throughout my career, I've successfully built and scaled products from concept to market, navigating complex technical constraints and evolving business needs. I have a proven track record of aligning teams around shared goals and fostering a culture of innovation and customer-centricity.
I'm particularly passionate about empowering teams to achieve their full potential. By establishing clear goals, encouraging experimentation, and maintaining a relentless focus on outcomes, I help organizations build products that customers love while achieving sustainable growth.
When I'm not working on products, you'll find me exploring the latest tech trends, mentoring aspiring product leaders, or enjoying outdoor activities with my family.
