What I'm looking for
I am a product strategist with 8+ years scaling trust-sensitive marketplaces, experienced in setting product vision and driving conversion, engagement, liquidity, and revenue at scale.
At Care.com I defined the caregiver reviews vision and re-launched Availability to improve match viability; I launched post-transaction prompts with 32% adoption that drove a 40% YoY uplift in highly reviewed caregivers and led experimentation that delivered a 4% conversion lift and 5% fulfillment increase.
Previously I built matching systems and marketplace experiences—designing SonderMind's first matching algorithm that increased session bookings 35% and launching a 70% automated matching system that improved match accuracy by 50% and reduced time-to-match by 25%.
I mentor PMs, partner cross-functionally, and focus on measurable outcomes; I'm eager to lead product strategy and growth initiatives that increase trust, engagement, and revenue.
