I’m a Senior Product Manager who de-risks 0→1 bets fast and turns them into revenue, often with AI.
United StatesWhat I'm looking for
I help founders decide which product bets are worth making, de-risk them fast, and turn them into revenue. I’m strongest in 0→1 environments, where I build clarity on “what we build, why, and whether it makes money,” then move quickly to a testable first version.
Most recently, as a Senior Product Manager at leadquest, I owned the portfolio of GTM/outbound-sales SaaS products end to end. I built the strategic case and integration plan to acquire a stalled $60K product—driving $45K in week one and $650K over 12 months (~11x return)—and I focused on whether customers would actually pay by fixing lead quality before launch, growing LazyLeadz to $250K in revenue.
Earlier at Datto, I led the growth of cybersecurity products for large enterprise customers, launching a reporting tool that reduced time to resolution by 60% and cut internal support inquiries by 27%. I created a public API that increased cross-product integrations by 10% and cross-sells by 25%, and I relaunched an admin permissions tool to boost adoption by 82%. Before that, at TaskMagic, I productized an MVP into a scalable flagship offering (20x user growth, $2M revenue), and I’ve consistently operated in ambiguity using product vision, user research, and tight iteration—now increasingly shipping the first version myself with AI to test bets in days.
