I'm a full-stack product lead with a history of fintech experience working across consumer lending, personal finance and affiliate marketing. My passions lie in financial inclusion/empowerment and social entrepreneurship, but I also nerd out on all the technological systems and incentives that underlie our economic landscape.My style is very execution-oriented. I like having conversations about big ideas and the future of technology, but what really makes me tick is the nitty-gritty details of bringing a mission and vision to market and seeing it succeed. I like to spend a good part of my day deep in the data warehouses using SQL to uncover insights and opportunities—and get really excited about taking those to the team and talking through how to capitalize on them. "What do you think is the role of product management?" I'm glad you asked! A canned answer might be something like, 'I collect business requirements and translate them into product requirements to be shared, evaluated and acted upon with design, engineering and analytics.' Sure, that's all important but it greatly simplifies and largely undermines the true role of product management. I think about product in terms of value creation and outcomes for the consumer and the business. The best product managers I've worked with care more about getting there than how they get there. Whatever is necessary to achieve an outcome could fall within the scope of product manager, whether it be strategic, operational, analytical, or tactical. Ultimately, accountability for the success or failure of a product falls on the product owner. In that, I'm comfortable wearing whatever hat is needed to get the job done 🤠."How would your coworkers describe you?"In my opinion, the most underrated skill at a company is being easy to work with. That doesn't mean being a pushover or task-taker. It means approaching every conversation with an empathetic ear, seeking to understand your teammates' perspectives and concerns. That's where you find the real synergies and collaboration that builds strong, lasting relationships with your team. I think that's how my colleagues would describe me, though they'd probably add that I'll crack one too many jokes 😅. In short, I love what I do! I believe that at the core of every great Product Manager is a compassionate, cross-functional problem-solver with strong data skills. That's what I bring to the table and also the kind of folks I work best with. Reach out if you'd like to connect and learn more about each other!
