Full bio

I'm a product management leader with a software development, and analytics background. I've been part of early-stage startups for most of my career, most notably Bazaarovice (their first product manager and employee #7) which led to IPO in 2012 and multiple patents.

Shaping early-stage startups is exciting for me. My full-stack software dev background helps me lead both product and engineering teams with an eye for what's realistic. I believe great products lead with great design and empathy for the users. 

I tend to gravitate toward building teams that prioritize innovation and testing new hypotheses. Iterating and getting to goals quickly drives me.
