What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a role that promotes collaboration between autonomous, cross-functional teams, staffed by smart individuals. I value good people and interesting technology, as well as the ability to work asynchronously across timezones. I enjoy solving complex problems and helping organizations grow.

I'm a sharp-minded product, operations, and digital strategy leader with a proven track record of empowering organizations toward business growth and delivering impactful customer experiences. Currently, I serve as a Product Manager at USA.gov, where I lead the creation of AI and location-based products, significantly enhancing user satisfaction and operational efficiency. My efforts in defining and executing the digital transformation of USA.gov’s benefits platform resulted in an 18x increase in traffic and over $5 million in annual cost recovery.

Previously, I held senior product management roles at RentSpree and Postlight Digital Product Studio, where I successfully led product vision and execution for various innovative tools and built media platforms using open source software. My operations acumen and leadership has consistently driven product development throughput and improved organizational agility. I have managed many junior and associate product managers, and I’m passionate about mentoring teams and fostering a product-driven culture, ensuring that we not only meet but exceed our professional goals.
