Data & Product Leader | Building Revenue & Performance Systems at Cal Athletics

San Francisco Bay Area

About

I build data products at the intersection of human performance and business strategy, helping athletes and organizations reach their full potential. As Director of Revenue & Data at Cal, I’ve led cross-functional initiatives generating $2M+ in impact by identifying operational inefficiencies, building the infrastructure to capture them, and driving adoption from prototype to production. I start by finding the right problem before building any solution. Then I focus on translating between technical and business teams, owning product roadmaps, and turning insights into decisions. A builder at heart, I created EVZAIN, an AI-powered coaching platform serving 100+ athletes through personalized performance intelligence. Currently pursuing an MBA at UC Berkeley Haas, specializing in product strategy and AI in sports and human performance.
