About

At EnterpriseAlumni, I own Data, Product, and UX for the platform we're building from scratch. My loop is simple and fast: prototype first, document second, validate continuously. Instead of guessing at requirements, I put working prototypes in front of enterprise customers like BlackRock, PwC, and Wells Fargo and pull real feedback in days, not weeks. That's cut our feedback cycle from 8 weeks to 10 days. Killed weak features before we wasted quarters building them! I operate at the intersection of building and leading. I'm hands-on in the product, but I also work in constant feedback with our CEO, CTO, and COO, translating between what customers need, what's technically possible, and where the business is going. That connective role, plus an instinct for what matters before anyone names it, is where I do my best work. I enjoy partnering with executive teams to turn ambiguity into clear product strategy, align organizations around customer outcomes, and scale products from early concepts into durable businesses.
