Experience

  • Interviewing experience: Additional availability upon request
  • Education: MBA Purdue University
  • Expertise: I specialize in driving new product strategies from inception to scale
  • Fun facts: I have been interviewing and hiring PMs for over 10 years

I’ve been in Product Leadership roles for the past 11 years, with a total or 20 years in Product. I love my work, I love obsessing over my customers. I’m very much a hands-on leader, I have always obsessed over both the Product and the People responsible for the Product.

I specialize in driving new product strategies from inception to scale. Across my last two roles - leading Product and Engineering to implement a net-new product strategy, and separately in a new product incubator launching two products from zero to nationwide scale - I have honed my ability to operate at both strategic and executional levels to achieve business objectives.

Vertically, I influence and advise executive audiences while also diving deep with my teams - rolling up my sleeves to uncover opportunities and solve problems firsthand. Horizontally, I collaborate across functions, aligning stakeholders and driving cross-team execution to deliver company-wide outcomes.

I thrive in high-growth, ambiguous environments where building, scaling, and transforming products are key to success.
