Designing AI-enabled products and platforms that scale with trust — inside real teams already in motion.
I’m a senior product and platform leader applying AI inside live product workflows, shaping how teams collaborate, make decisions, and lead at scale without slowing down the work that already matters.
Formerly Atlassian, eBay, Yahoo!, Condé Nast, BrassRing — and multiple startups.
Currently focused on applied AI product strategy — translating emerging technology into experiences people trust, adopt, and actually use.
