My leadership style is pragmatic, clear, and directional, ensuring that every team member knows the path forward and their role in our collective success.

Here’s how I approach my work:

  1. Product & Growth Leadership:

  2. Stakeholder Alignment:
    I specialize in understanding the priorities of engineers, PMs, and business leaders, and excel at aligning cross-functional partners around shared objectives. I foster strong collaboration to ensure ideas move efficiently from concept to impact.

  3. User Experience & Design Strategy:
    With deep experience across the end-to-end design process, I lead research, usability testing, wireframing, and prototyping—ensuring user insights directly inform product strategy and design execution. My approach consistently improves usability, engagement, and product outcomes.
