As the Director of Product for Data, APIs, and Integrations at Covetrus, I bring over 18 years of experience in the software engineering field, with over 12 years of progressive experience in the veterinary software industry. Beginning as a software developer, I've advanced through roles in engineering management, architecture, and currently drive our product strategy in data and integrations. This diverse experience has given me insight into all phases of software development, from market analysis to hands-on development, through supporting solutions in the market, as well as navigating teams through the culture shift from small independent companies through multiple mergers and acquisitions to market-leading corporations.My career is distinguished by my ability to seamlessly integrate technical and product strategies. I believe in human-centric leadership, focusing on mentorship, team building, and continuous process improvement. My passion lies in problem-solving and platform development. Leveraging my extensive technical background and product and management experience, I specialize in identifying challenges faced by our users and gaps in our industry, and implementing pragmatic solutions that drive real-world impact. I excel in removing barriers to executing short-term deliverables and aligning our strategic vision toward consistent platform-oriented solutions that scale not just technically, but in response to changing business needs.
