Product leader with 15+ years building B2B SaaS products, driving data-informed growth and operational scale.
What I'm looking for
I am a product leader with over 15 years of experience building B2B SaaS platforms across media, proptech, and enterprise software, delivering solutions used by Fortune 100 customers and high-growth brokerages. I specialize in data pipelines, analytics, API strategy, and product discovery to drive measurable business impact.
At Compass and Knock I led cross-functional programs that optimized large-scale media ingestion, integrated AI-driven features, redesigned analytics models, and launched rapid MVPs that increased adoption and speed-to-market. As Head of Product and Group Product Manager at MediaPlatform, I restructured portfolios, improved engagement metrics, and formalized customer governance that raised renewal rates.
Recently I co-founded and operationalized a property management business and consult for early-stage startups on systems, product strategy, and delivery. I focus on creating scalable operational and technical backbones, instituting prioritization frameworks, and improving delivery predictability and velocity.
