As a highly technical and creative product leader with a decade+ of experience deploying apps and product features, I deliver strategic objectives and develop product leaders and teams.

• Platforms: Web, Android, iOS, OTT (AppleTV, Chromecast, Roku, FireTV), SDKs, APIs

• Business Models: transactional, subscription, advertisement, B2C, B2B2C, B2B
