As a Product Management leader with over 30 years of experience, I operate at the vital intersection of design, business, and technology. My career has been dedicated to navigating the unique challenges and high-stakes opportunities that exist within that space. The Big Picture I’ve delivered significant outcomes across diverse industries—from E-Commerce, Retail Media and Financial Services to IoT—at organizations of every scale from The Home Depot, Intuit, and NCR to smaller orgs like CheckFree, Brickstream, VerticalOne, and eTour. I leverage my background in User Research, UX Design, and Business to ensure every product strategy is grounded in human-centric value. My goal is to help you master the complexities of modern product leadership.
