As Chrome Search product lead, I have hired and developed a team of individual contributor PMs, growing the cross-functional team from 6 to over 50, coupled with cross-company influence through mentorship and leadership in virtual cross-org teams. In this role I steer the work of a cross-functional product team of UX designers and researchers, SWEs, PMs, StratOps and PgMs working directly with executives, marketing, PR, privacy, legal, security, and policy across Search, Google Ads, Deep Mind, Android, Cloud and others. I set a multi-year strategy balancing business needs and user delight and led its successful execution across 6 platforms serving 800M+ DAU.
In addition to delivering on growth goals for the business, I've led multiple emergent product efforts including AI Mode and Contextual Search in Chrome.
Previously I've managed Chrome's efforts to adapt the Chrome browser experience to the user. As part of this, I also managed Chrome's built-in translation experience as well as other language-related efforts including understanding user language preferences through machine learning efforts to give users access to all information on the web in whatever language they prefer.
