What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a Product Manager / Game Producer role. Ideally in an early stage startup where I can use my skills and help the company grow.

I’m a Senior Game Producer / Product Leader with 10+ years in games, starting as a Game Developer and evolving into production and product leadership roles. I’ve led 50+ games and managed 60+ member cross-functional teams, shipping award-winning products that have sold 1M+ units globally (Toy of the Year 2022 finalist). I’ve owned roadmaps, milestones, delivery, R&D cycles, and cost optimization across early-stage and scaling studios. As a founding member at Terra, I helped drive platform D1 retention to 45%+ and D7 to 10%+, with select titles reaching 15% D7. I’ve also supported fundraising efforts and acted as the go-to person for complex production challenges.

Currently, I work as a freelance product consultant and game advisor, helping early-stage teams reach PMF through strategy, hiring, and execution. I’m now seeking remote full-time or consulting roles where I can help teams ship and scale high-quality games. I’d be happy to discuss if there’s an opportunity to collaborate or contribute to the games your team is building.
