I've spent 10+ years in B2B SaaS building one conviction: the best products don't showcase what technology can do. They eliminate what used to slow people down, and make what's left genuinely delightful to use. I identify where innovation can fundamentally transform how teams work: not just automating tasks, but changing workflows and ways of working entirely — turning hours of manual effort into minutes, replacing context-switching with flow, and making sophisticated capabilities feel effortlessly simple. Right now, that means leading AI-powered products. Most recently, I've led AI-agentic developer experiences where context-aware assistants understand application models, generate quality code, and let developers focus on business logic instead of boilerplate. I've redesigned onboarding experiences that dramatically increased Day 1 activation and led cross-functional teams to deliver products used by thousands of enterprise customers. What I bring: - User & Customer Obsessed: Dedicated to creating products that solve real problems and deliver exceptional user experiences. - AI & Intelligent Automation Expertise: Deep understanding of AI technologies (LLMs, agentic AI, RAG) and their application to real-world problems. - End-to-End Product Ownership: Experienced in driving product vision, strategy, roadmap, and iterative delivery. - Strong technical foundation: Fluent across cloud infrastructure, APIs, and AI implementation — able to bridge what's technically possible with what actually serves users. What I'm looking for: I'm exploring senior product leadership roles where technology creates genuine transformation — particularly at the intersection of AI and how people and teams get work done. Curious what you're building, always up for a conversation.
