Portland, Oregon, United States
As a media-specialized product manager, my goal is to design and steer the implementation of innovative and efficient multiscreen workflows allowing media actors to securely distribute interactive, synchronized and protected video contents. I'm currently working in Portland as Principal Product Manager for Prime Video, managing the content delivery/protection domain. Previously in Amazon, I was Principal Product Manager for AWS Elemental, managing MediaPackage, the SPEKE key exchange API, and leading cross-services initiatives in the AWS Edge Services division. I'm a co-founder of the Portland Video Tech meetup group, also member of the Streaming Video Technology Alliance.
