About

I have 12+ years of experience as a Product Leader and Founder/CEO, with experience across e-commerce, media/ads, subscriptions businesses, as well as advising healthcare startups, partnering closely with executives, Boards of Directors, and investors on fundraising and strategic acquisitions. I’m proud of my track record of delivering results, doubling Tog & Porter revenues through growth marketing strategy, turning around Brit + Co’s consumer engagement by 200%, and developing Blue Note Therapeutics’ first ever prescription digital therapeutic Attune. Most importantly, I’m a compassionate leader and people manager, building out multiple engineering, product, design, marketing, operations, and data teams from scratch, instilling collaborative and effective product development processes, and mentoring people in the Product community.
