About Me

20+ years at the intersection of technology, product, and strategy.

Background

Tech and Product Advisor

LinkedIn Profile

I help technology companies navigate complexity and execute with clarity—from early-stage startups finding product-market fit to enterprise organizations managing large-scale transformation.

My work spans three areas: technology strategy advisory, product management execution and practice-building, and fractional leadership as CPO, CTO, or VP of Product.

I've held the roles I now advise on. I've built products, managed teams, navigated board pressure, and shipped in environments that ranged from three-person startups to 10,000-person enterprises.
