What I'm looking for

I seek senior roles leading growth, partnerships, and digital transformation in financial services or SaaS, focused on longevity/healthspan innovation, measurable monetization, responsible AI, and paths to scale or acquisition within collaborative, product-focused teams.

I am a strategic growth and partnerships leader specializing in financial services, SaaS platforms, and longevity/healthspan innovation.

At John Hancock I researched and recommended strategies to monetize partnerships with wearable and behavioral platforms such as Apple, Oura, and Whoop, moving initiatives from PR into measurable business impact.

I have led digital distribution and product strategy at Transamerica and directed SaaS platforms through product launches, integrations, and scale, negotiating strategic partnerships and positioning platforms and founders for successful exits.

I advise organizations on governance, leadership alignment, technology modernization, and succession planning to prepare for acquisition while preserving continuity. I bring a pragmatic, cross-functional approach that connects product, distribution, and technology to drive consumer engagement and financial outcomes.
