ABOUT ME

I learned product from the outside in.

I began in physical product design, where customer demand, commercial constraints, and execution determined whether an idea reached market. I carried that discipline into digital product leadership, ultimately directing interconnected portfolios across content, subscriptions, commerce, and customer data.

Career foundations

The work before software built the instincts I bring to product leadership.

Physical products taught me to balance customer appeal, brand requirements, production constraints, budgets, retailers, and launch deadlines.
