Fractional Product Leader | Product Strategy, SaaS Platforms & Customer Experience
I’m a product leader with over two decades of experience building and scaling SaaS, marketplace, and B2B2C platform products across Series A startups, growth-stage companies, and publicly traded organizations. I began my career as a software engineer, which shapes how I partner with engineering teams and evaluate technical tradeoffs at scale. My focus is product strategy, roadmap clarity, and driving measurable business outcomes through customer-centric, data-informed decision-making. I’ve led leaders and built high-performing product, design, and engineering organizations, guiding teams through zero-to-one launches, platform modernization, API and ecosystem expansion, and cloud-native architectures. My work emphasizes aligning vision to execution, using metrics and analytics to prioritize impact, and ensuring teams are solving the right problems, not just shipping outputs. Today, I work in a fractional product leadership and advisory capacity with select teams, while remaining open to the right full-time product leadership role where long-term ownership and impact matter. I frequently support organizations navigating platform strategy, organizational scale, and the application of AI and data to improve customer experience, operational efficiency, and decision-making. From AI-enabled customer experiences to commerce, payments, logistics, and partner platforms, I bring a systems-first mindset and a bias toward clarity, accountability, and sustained product impact.
