About

My first super power is the steel thread, leading teams to create minimal products that delight customers and achieve aggressive business goals. My second super power is coaching up teams to iterate on that steel thread to create differentiated, market-leading products that crush the competition. More buzzy: I'm a Strategic Product Leader with 20+ years building high-performing teams and market-leading products in SaaS B2B and B2B2C. Curious and collaborative, driving significant growth through product vision, strategy, 0-1 innovation, full SDLC, cross-company collaboration, and Product Ops excellence. I've delivered AI products in three industries, and my Product teams leverage AI to accelerate product delivery. Strong record of driving substantial growth in multiple industries, including HR Tech, Martech, life sciences, robotics, scientific research, and automotive. I care about building great teams and helping each person grow and become their best selves. Love to win for customers, team, and company. Crossfitter, avid traveler, author, guitarist.
