About

For my birthday, I went scuba diving at the Great Blue Hole - a giant submarine sinkhole off the coast of Belize - the deepest, deep blue hole imaginable. When I was swimming to the dive point, I thought about quitting no less than a hundred times. But despite being tired from the long and choppy boat ride and carrying heavy oxygen tanks, I managed the most perfectly controlled descent in my short diving career. Once I set my mind on something, I focus and get it done. While executing dangerous dives is not part of my current role, I do my best work when I'm challenged and then left to figure out the solution on my own. I am an outcome-driven and analytical product leader well-versed in product strategy and delivery. From startups to Fortune 500 companies, I bring my passion for collaborating with cross-functional teams to turn products into solutions while lining up operations to execute successful product validation and release. I deliver products with user-centric designs, whether I am producing popular video games or enterprise solutions used by millions. As part of my work in AWS, I helped shape the vision and stepping stones to fully automated data center operations that skyrocket workforce productivity by removing the need for human administration. Focus on: 🫶🏻Product Craft: design thinking and user empathy 👥 Navigating Organizational Ambiguity: aligning stakeholders behind a clear vision and plan 🎯Hitting delivery targets: build, test, and land products and features with high predictability 🧩 Management and mentoring: identify and fill process, knowledge and efficiency gaps for teams In my free time: 🌄Hike, travel, enjoy nature ⛷Ski 🏋️‍♂️Lift weights 🚵‍♂️Bike 🧘🏽‍♂️ Yoga 🧩Learn a lot 🎮Game
