About

I am a Director of Product Management, leading teams that build and grow digital products at Rivian. I once bought a one-way ticket to San Francisco. My excitement around new technologies and the legendary tales about Silicon Valley's opportunities drew me in. For 12+ years, I have built digital products and platforms from concept to market, developed and delivered numerous roadmaps and go-to-market strategies, and grown teams around strategic company objectives. I have done this in early-stage startups, large-scale and hyper-growth companies. I hold patents in the fields of connected vehicles and communication UI design. At Stanford University, I am an Adjunct Lecturer for Advanced Product Design for the last 3 years. People have referred to me as a Duracell Energy Bunny but I can’t find any resemblance.
