About

Exec Product Design & Experience Leader who wears many hats, with a versatile background spanning startups and leading global brands like Miro, InVision, Anaplan, Deloitte, Sky, and Hitachi. As an engineer-turned-designer, I am a big believer in the power of cross-functional collaboration. I’ll take any opportunity to apply a holistic lens and pull teams along for the ride in pursuit of a cohesive customer experience. Design, in my view, is the glue that can bind product, engineering, and go-to-market teams, enabling us to craft compelling stories about our identity, and value to customers. Throughout my career, I have taken on various roles within the product space and built dynamic product design and research teams, as well as multi-functional design systems teams, brand and community. My leadership style is characterized by empathy, collaboration, and impact-focused strategic thinking. I thrive in fast-paced environments that demand lean and impactful design solutions. Creating a safe and supportive environment for my teams, where candor, intuition, and creativity can flourish, is non-negotiable. What truly fuels my passion is the inspiration I derive from my team. As their biggest cheerleader, I provide unwavering support as they evolve into the next generation of creative leaders. Nurturing their development brings me immense fulfillment and joy.
