I build AI products that ship 3-4x faster. As a product leader, I've spent my career at the intersection of AI, advertising, and entrepreneurship. I co-founded Retina AI, a venture-backed company that predicted customer lifetime value with 90%+ accuracy using supervised machine learning, serving 200+ brands like Capital One, GoDaddy, and Nestlé. We raised a Series A, grew to a $40M valuation, and were acquired by Onar Media. Now at Amazon Ads, I lead product for Full Funnel Campaigns—Amazon's biggest bet on advertising—and New Product Campaigns. My team builds AI-powered tools that help advertisers of all sizes launch and scale with minimal effort. What I'm known for: → Pioneering GenAI product development. I use Claude and Amazon Kiro to build functioning prototypes in 6 weeks instead of 4-6 months. I presented this approach to SVP and evangelized it to 200+ Amazonians at Spark conference. → Defining AI strategy at scale. I authored the vision docs for Amazon's New Product Campaigns Ads Agent, a multi-billion dollar opportunity using LLMs to transform how advertisers work. This vision secured executive alignment for our multi-year AI roadmap. → Delivering measurable results. With New Product Campaigns, you now get 4X higher engagement and 73% faster time-to-1000 units sold → Industry thought leadership. I've led customer conversations at Cannes Lions, presented at Amazon unBoxed and Shopper 2025 in Chicago. Adweek featured me explaining how AI addresses the cold-start challenge for new product launches. Before Amazon and Retina AI, I led marketing operations at Meta (Facebook) during their $10B to $16B revenue growth, built ML products at PayPal, and started my career as an engineer at Boeing and Sikorsky. I hold an MBA from UCLA Anderson and an M.E. in Electrical Engineering from RPI. I'm passionate about AI agents that genuinely help people do their jobs better—not just chatbots, but systems that understand context, take action, and deliver outcomes. If you're building at the intersection of AI and product, I'd love to connect.
