About
A technical & entrepreneurial player/coach with deep experience in product management, engineering, design, analytics, and marketing. I've worked across many industries and company structures (B2C, B2B, SAAS, social networks, marketplaces, publishers, fintech, proptech, and ecommerce). That experience helps me adapt quickly to trends and analyze problems resulting in solutions that are both simple and unexpected.
While I've built and mentored many teams along the way, I love participating in the building process firsthand. I enjoy thinking through the 1st principles and JTBD to identify core customer problems; then writing the SQL to pull the data to inform the hypothesis of solution. I especially enjoy working alongside the engineering team to bring the solutions to life so they can be vetted or tested with customers.
My forte is in product and growth. I've helped sites and brands like Pinterest, Tripadvisor, Uber, Condé Nast, Realtor, Rent.com, Cars.com, Edmunds.com, Snapchat, SPIN.com, and VIBE.com.
