About

We are building AI agents for enablement and L&D that transform for enterprise learning and upskilling happens. Previously, I was the Product Leader for Google Workspace for Education (180+ million MAUs) and founded Gemini Education efforts. Before that, I led Google Classroom through the pandemic when the product grew from 40M to 150M users globally. I also had the privilege of leading several other products at Google across Android, Google Play, Google Forms and Read Along. I'm a product builder at heart. I love finding hair-on-fire customer problems, driving user-focused innovation, obsessing over the details and building product teams that are nimble, scrappy and hungry.
