About me
Professional Experience
I am a nimble B2B technology product executive skilled in product management, product marketing, and innovation management. I have had successful tenures in Fortune 50 and private equity (PE) portfolio companies. I lead teams through dynamic market environments, anticipating market changes, and synthesizing customers needs into product requirements. I am skilled at speaking with customers to ensure that their needs and problems are well-understood. I think guide my team to translate those needs into clear, prioritized requirements.
Key Skills
I am deeply immersed in the practice of product management, and all of the nuances, subtleties, and tough decisions that come in that field. I am a ruthless prioritizer who provides clarity to my stakeholders. I believe that providing context behind the prioritization framework provides more clarity than micromanaging deliverables. I have found that this approach ensures the entire team can scale appropriately to capitalize on nascent market opportunities, succeed as first-mover, and deliver exceptional value to the business.
Leadership Style
I have had the honor of leading many teams throughout my career. People leadership is the most fulfilling thing I’ve had the opportunity to do as a professional. I lead from within, working alongside teams. I am not afraid to roll up my sleeves and do work, while identifying where breakdowns occur and fixing them. I manage up and down. I keep my leaders informed, run ideas past them, and ensure they’re never surprised. I engage with my team in multiple modalities, making myself highly accessible. I build genuine and authentic relationships because I truly enjoy leading people.
