// about

I’m a Product Leader with 10+ years of experience at the intersection of Product, Design, and Strategy. I specialize in leading cross-functional teams through complex bureaucracy over the entire product lifecycle, from foundational research and experimentation to go-to-market and growth strategies.

My approach combines a strong strategic foundation with communication, relationship, and facilitation skills needed to align stakeholders and drive outcomes for the business and their users.

My most recent positions were highly technical, where I implemented organizational strategy and change management and built products that liberated data so it can be used in high stakes decision making by senior leadership across organizations.

I'm committed to doing the most good for the most people through great products.
