About

Software Engineer turned Product Manager. I have 9+ years of experience leading B2B SaaS products in cloud computing and fintech. My strengths include: 1) product vision and strategy, 2) data-driven growth, 3) API and system design, 4) product development with cross-functional teams. I am currently the lead PM for AWS CloudFormation, a top-10 AWS service used by millions of customers each month. I previously co-founded the product function at a wealth management startup, scaling usage by 10x in three years and contributing to a successful acquisition. My thesis: 1) The output of (aligned) teams exceeds the sum of their parts 2) Software is a unique lever to scale outcomes 3) Products that enable users to build and succeed are likelier to succeed themselves because they spark a value creation loop
