I lead product and engineering teams to deliver data-driven digital platforms and AI-enabled experiences.
United StatesWhat I'm looking for
I’m a Product and Technology Leader with extensive experience as a Product Owner, Product Manager, and Engineering leader delivering enterprise-scale digital platforms from discovery through delivery. I translate business strategy and customer needs into product roadmaps, prioritized backlogs, and measurable outcomes, and I’m known for bringing structure to ambiguity while driving adoption of high-impact solutions.
At Verizon, I drive product and business strategy for digital and AI transformation, turning AI initiatives and architecture requirements into epics and user stories—delivering measurable improvements like reducing capability mapping and strategic analysis cycles by 35%. Previously at Pinnacle and Lloyd’s Register, I owned global roadmaps and releases, strengthened backlog refinement and requirement clarity (improving sprint completion by 20% and reducing story clarification time by 30%), and helped shift execution into autonomous squads—cutting feature cycle time by 35% while modernizing legacy platforms through discovery, UX collaboration, and stakeholder alignment.
