About

I help B2B SaaS companies ship winning products. I do that by obsessing over customers, developing strategy, and building a team. I believe... 1) Technology should serve people, not the other way around 2) Power of team work is a competitive advantage 3) Mind and body connection must be fostered to achieve optimal performance Over the course of my career, I have... 1) Developed & driven product strategy that led Series-B startup to $200M+ exit 2) Hired, trained, and managed a distributed product team of 7 members across 3 time zones 3) Spearheaded early user tests and improved the engineering efficiency by 40% I excel at operating at the interaction of enterprise, technology, and compliance. If you want to talk about AI/ML, privacy, AI Act, compliance, I would love to hear from you.
