Product Manager

I find that innovation flourishes when supported by constraint, measurement, and commitment to results. I’m here to create those supports, to grow teams and grow with them, and to deliver.

I've spent a decade collaborating with brilliant teammates to transform the way we learn, communicate, and create. Nothing makes me happier than launching products that people absolutely love and never saw coming.
