About
I like to move fast, am a big believer in the power of AI as the next generation of computing, and am experienced in working efficiently and profitably. I tend to do my best work in start-ups given my breadth of experience from product, design, sales, business development, and marketing, but I’m also open to working at larger companies. I have 9+ years of product management experience, am a Carnegie Mellon graduate, and have worked in both 0→1 as well as growth stage products — I would love to chat with you!
