Summary

Product and technology leader with 20+ years of experience helping B2B startups and scaleups build high-performing product teams and transition to a product operating model. I’ve held multiple executive roles—including Chief Product Officer and Vice President of Product—driving AI-native transformation, productization, and sustainable scale across mobility, SaaS, and enterprise technology. In addition to leading product organizations through growth and exits, I’ve advised Fortune 500s and fast-growing ventures through my consulting work with McKinsey & Company and Boston Consulting Group, focusing on product strategy, venture building, and GenAI enablement.
