About

I started my career at Bloomberg, working closely with large financial institutions to understand workflows and find sales opportunities. That experience shaped how I think about business: the best commercial outcomes usually come from understanding the customer deeply enough to spot where the product can become more useful. I then moved into Product Management at Match Group, where I worked on new revenue initiatives, product launches, and integration work across fast-growing consumer apps. That gave me a more formal Product foundation and showed me how valuable the right integration or product partnership can be when it solves a real customer problem. More recently, I’ve been building AI products that help businesses turn manual, fragmented workflows into more efficient systems, starting with recruiting and workforce operations. That work has included tools integrated into major platforms, and I've sold to enterprise, healthcare, and AI research customers. Outside of work, I also produce community-driven events, and write screenplays.
