About

Product Design and UX leader with 15+ years of experience guiding product strategy, design execution, and cross-functional collaboration across B2B, B2C, SaaS, marketplaces, and AI-powered platforms. I’ve built and scaled local and distributed international teams (3 → 20+) and delivered products that balance delight, speed, trust, and accessibility while creating measurable impact for both customers and businesses. My leadership philosophy is rooted in collaboration, humility, and systems problem solving. I partner with product, engineering, and data leaders to shape long-term strategy while ensuring execution is grounded in user needs, success metrics are clear, and teams are empowered to innovate. I thrive in both 0→1 explorations and platform-scale rollouts, and believe no task is too small when it helps the team succeed. I bring fluency in frontend and backend constraints, AI design patterns, and data-informed decision making, enabling me to bridge disciplines and deliver scalable, customer-centered experiences. I lead through four core dimensions of performance: - People & Culture: Building and maturing UX organizations: hiring and mentoring talent, scaling culture across distributed teams, evolving design systems, and supporting career growth. Take care of the people, everything else takes care of itself. - Vision & Strategy: Co-creating product roadmaps with cross-functional partners that align business outcomes with immediate customer needs, while balancing future needs. - Execution & Impact: Translating vision into execution by driving clarity around goals, success metrics, and milestones, ensuring experience quality and user trust at every stage. - Customer Outcomes: Above all, I believe that great design is about deploying craft in service of the customer we are solving for. Along the journey we build sustainable systems, strong teams, and products that truly help people.
