What I'm looking for

I'm looking to lead AI product strategy, enterprise platform commercialization, and digital transformation where I can turn customer insight and emerging technology into measurable business outcomes.

I built and commercialized JobFit, a cloud-native AI SaaS platform that combines generative AI, intelligent matching, workflow automation, behavioral analytics, and career planning.

Across Hibbert Advisory Group, Paribus Labs, MLT, MediaKind, Intive, Penton Media, Paramount, and The New York Times, I've led AI strategy, product commercialization, platform modernization, customer discovery, and digital transformation. My work includes launching an API-driven business that generated approximately $450,000 in two quarters, expanding The New York Times mobile portfolio to four apps serving approximately 2.43 million monthly users, and supporting OTT launches across 99 countries.

I partner with executives, engineering, data, and commercial teams to turn customer insight and emerging technology into scalable products, adoption, and measurable business outcomes.
