About Me

Customer-focused, data-driven, and passionate about building tools that empower people

I'm a customer-focused, data-driven product manager with nearly a decade of experience leading product development at companies like Microsoft and GlossGenius. My work has spanned developer tools, SMB platforms, and quantum computing — but the common thread is a deep belief in resilient systems, intuitive UX, and product-led growth.

I'm especially passionate about building tools that empower communities, small business owners and creators. I thrive in ambiguous, high-speed environments and bring a calm, collaborative energy to cross-functional teams.

Outside of work, you'll find me reading (I organize a local book club), redecorating corners of my home, or planning my next international trip.

How I Work

Fast & Iterative

I understand the importance of speed when it comes to product success. I have a bias to action and think iteratively—breaking down projects into clear milestones that deliver incremental value to customers and the business.

Empathetic

I care deeply about customers and my team. I believe in bringing your whole self to work and living a rich, full life outside of work. I thrive in environments where I can work on products and problems directly impacting people's lives.

No Bullshit

I am authentic and transparent. I can disagree and commit, but I believe the discourse that comes with disagreement makes decisions, teams, and products better. The most successful teams have cultures where people speak their mind and concerns are heard and respected.

Calm, Collected, Collaborative

I love, love, love collaboration. I thrive in environments where we work together to break down complex problems and foster outside-the-box thinking. When conflict arises, I approach it with a level head, focusing on solving problems as a team rather than as adversaries.
