Passionate about building products that matter
Started in marketing, then discovered product management where I could combine customer insights with business strategy. What began as curiosity about user behavior evolved into a passion for creating products that transform industries. Over 8 years, I've shipped products from zero to IPO, always focusing on the intersection of user needs and business goals.
Great products come from obsessing over problems, not solutions. I lead with customer research, validate with data, and iterate based on real feedback. My framework: understand deeply, ship quickly, measure religiously, and pivot fearlessly. I believe the best product decisions balance user delight with business impact.
When I'm not obsessing over user journeys, you'll find me exploring local farmers markets, training for marathons, or reading behavioral economics books. I host a monthly product management meetup in SF and write about product strategy on my blog. I'm also an angel investor focusing on B2B SaaS and marketplace startups.
