Work Experience
PM Lead for Tenor within Google Search. Drove API collaborations with Search, Gboard, Workspace, YouTube, Android. Led Tenor product strategy and successful expansion into emerging content formats like memes and stickers. At the time of my departure in 2024 Tenor was processing over 5B API requests per day.
Built and managed team of product managers and multidisciplinary designers. Led product development zero to one for GIF Keyboard, Tenor Search, and Tenor API, powering thousands of API integrations. Helped grow Tenor into one of the world’s largest search engines. Tenor was acquired by Google in March 2018.
I pioneered the design and user experience of GIF Keyboard, which became the #1 GIF app globally on both the App Store and Play Store. My foundational work set the stage for Tenor's rapid growth and widespread adoption.
Designed and developed software to support Extole’s innovative B2B2C “Refer a Friend” technology — partners included Spotify, 23andme, Xoom, Vistaprint, Rover, and more.
