Product Lead | AI & Enterprise Platforms

New York, NY

Product leader with 12+ years turning messy enterprise problems into shipped platforms, AI workflows, and measurable business outcomes. I’ve led 0-to-1 products, modernized legacy systems, and managed PM teams across financial services and technology. I also prototype in code, which means I can move from strategy to interface to working product without losing the thread.

I prototype in code and use AI tools daily to design for evolving workflows, AI-native interfaces, and intuitive product experiences.
