Product Leader | Building at the intersection of AI and data | Oracle, Adobe | MIT Sloan | Open to my next big challenge

Oakland, California, United States

About

I build products that turn complex data into things people actually use. Over 25 years I've led product at Oracle, Adobe, and TubeMogul at the intersection of advertising technology, identity, and health data. I've also founded a company, sat on the IAB Tech Lab board, and hold an MBA from MIT Sloan. Right now I'm building AI. Not evaluating it. Not roadmapping it. Building it. Kate is an AI career coach I created as a plugin for the Claude desktop app -- it runs structured workflows for executive job searches: fit assessments, interview prep, post-interview debriefs, and market monitoring. I am building the products I want to use. My core strength is building in high-trust environments -- regulated industries, sensitive data, enterprise customers -- where you have to be as precise as you are ambitious. I've done that in programmatic advertising, data clean rooms, identity resolution, and health data intelligence. I lead from the customer's perspective and build the frameworks to keep that view front and center as organizations scale. I'm looking for my next big challenge -- the kind where the solution has the potential to change how an industry operates, not just improve on what's already there. If you're building at the intersection of data, AI, and product -- or you just want to learn about Kate -- let's talk.
