About

I help product leaders and leadership teams turn strategy into measurable business results—especially when execution, scale, or AI adoption becomes the bottleneck. I work across product strategy, operating models, prioritization, and AI-enabled workflows to improve decision quality and execution speed. The focus is durable outcomes, not shipping more for the sake of it. I’ve advised 25+ SaaS companies—including PE-backed and growth-stage teams—on product diligence, AI strategy, leadership development, and execution resets. Previously, I led product organizations at high-growth SaaS companies, including helping scale Aha! to $100M+ ARR and launching multiple 0→1 products. Today, I operate as a hands-on product and AI advisor to founders, product leaders, and boards at moments of inflection.

  • We build and run PM operating systems via Claude Code that empower 5x product teams.
  • Your PMs use AI.
  • But without infrastructure,
  • it's just chat.
  • Your PMs re-explain the product every session. They edit generic outputs that miss the mark. They're chatting back and forth — not shipping. We build your entire PM workflow in an AI-first way in weeks. And your team is product at 5x their ability.
