My journey

My passion for building innovative, resonant products led to my work as a product manager.

After graduating with a computer science degree from MIT and working as a software engineer, I transitioned to product management after taking Marty Cagan’s (of Inspired and Empowered fame) SVPG seminar.

Over the last 16+ years, I've had the privilege of working at and with numerous companies at the forefront of the field, including Google, Pivotal Labs, Twitter, Pinterest, and Square.

I come to your company with extensive experience from working with deeply innovative product teams across multiple industries, including e-commerce, AI/ML, adtech, payments, platforms, personalization, mobile, and social.

The Four Superpowers

Successful product managers have four superpowers:

  1. Deep empathy for the end user

  2. Technical expertise for industry-leading execution

  3. A strategic and creative mindset that leans into differentiators

  4. The ability to motivate, inspire, and advocate for the team

I draw from all four of these to optimize your team while encouraging them to build these superpowers in themselves. By listening, understanding, and connecting with your team and users on a personal level, your product’s goals, vision, and challenges become my own. Together, we’ll set you up for success.
