Throughout my professional journey, I’ve often heard the phrase, “I don’t know how you did it!?” I’m fueled by ignoring naysayers to beat the odds on the projects I’m excited about. There’s a thrill in the speed and innovation that comes with building projects from scratch, while also leveraging lessons learned to fix the broken projects I inherit.As an innovative product leader, I’ve successfully delivered numerous customer-loved solutions while driving organizational growth. My approach is rooted in the belief that anything is achievable. So when asked, “can we do this?” I’ll most often believe, “yes we can.” Most of the projects I’ve tackled lack clear definition, requiring me to then feel and figure them out. This means iterative brainstorming, prototyping, testing, failing, rebuilding, and trying again until we land on the right solution. Some of my proudest accomplishments include: • Conceptualizing and delivering a new financial services iPad app in only a few weeks - before anyone knew what an iPad was. To create something few understood, we watched Steve Jobs’ keynote frame-by-frame over late-night sushi dinners, prototyped several ideas to hit on a successful one, and then launched in time to nab a coveted spot on the App Store's frontpage. • Launching a modern, mobile shopping app from scratch in six months. This first-of-its-kind enterprise app brought together all of our company's B2C brands under one umbrella, promoted the benefits of the loyalty program, and has seen steady growth since launch. • Resetting and regrowing both a global team and set of products, within a respected consumer-facing news division that had gone awry. By revamping a suite of offerings that weren’t compatible, I took a division that was $millions in the hole to profitable in 3 years - a first ever for our division.Coming from a music background, I’ve always enjoyed being part of the ensemble, where the group works together to make something both memorable and enjoyable. As a Product Leader, I instill the same viewpoint to guide both the team and technology to work harmoniously.I'm an inspirational player/coach and love running global teams, wanting the people I work with to share my beliefs, and be resourceful - helping them excel, and maximizing talent retention. In addition to my work, I’m an occasional mixologist, that’s relearning how to DJ and produce. As a Brooklynite, I’m also an avid urban hiker, walking miles for a unique, single origin coffee, while gathering ingredients for some new recipes to experiment with.
