My career has moved from solutions architecture into product leadership, which has given me an unusual combination: I can reason about data models, API design, and architectural trade-offs, and I can translate those decisions into product strategy and user experience. Over 18 years at PwC I have worked across the full stack of product delivery: designing integration architecture for firm-critical systems, founding an automation team from scratch, shipping a workplace platform in weeks during the pandemic, and most recently leading AI product development across data and workflow tooling. I work closely with engineering on system design, think carefully about where abstractions should sit, and spend as much time on the foundations as on the surface. I am drawn to products where getting the underlying systems right matters as much as what users see. I enjoy untangling complexity, making structured decisions with incomplete information, and working with teams that care about craft. Open to product leadership roles, particularly in platform, AI, or technically complex B2B or B2C products.
Leading AI product development across audit tooling: working with engineering on system design and data pipelines, evaluating where LLMs meaningfully augment professional workflows, and translating complex capabilities into clear positioning for internal, GTM and client-facing teams.
