How I work

Successful products require more than good ideas. They need the right approach.

Here's what I've learned works:

1

Solve Real Problems, Measure Real Impact

I uncover real user and business needs through discovery, then validate impact through clear metrics to ensure we create measurable value, not just ship features.

2

Lead Through Influence, Not Authority

I challenge assumptions constructively and build consensus across engineering, design, and business stakeholders. My ability to ask difficult questions early prevents costly mistakes later.

3

Ship Consistently Across the Product Lifecycle

I balance strategic vision with execution reality by delivering new capabilities while continuously improving existing experiences, managing technical debt, and investing in team productivity. Sustainable user impact requires excellence across the entire product, not just new projects.
