ezExchanges

A former manager once said I have an uncanny knack for bringing order to chaos.

With my experience in early-stage startups, I thrive in ambiguous environments and excel at carving paths with small teams to get things done. I’ve also driven success at major organizations like The Athletic, which was acquired by The New York Times, and Meredith Corporation.

I’m passionate about building products users love and creating happy, high-performing engineering teams.
