San Francisco, California, Us

I had an incredible experience building the ML organization within the Community organization. This encompassed both Applied Science and ML Engineering. Within 16 months, we launched 13 ML products and 7 infrastructure projects. This success was only possible because of my amazing team. I believe in supporting talented people by providing what they need to grow, giving them ownership, and then stepping back while guiding them with the right questions.I also had the privilege of working with some of the finest leaders in my career. These experiences reinforced my belief in leading with empathy as the foundation for building teams. Creating meaningful connections and caring personally about team members became central to my approach. I learned invaluable lessons that I'm eager to pass on to the next generation of leaders on my teams.Previous Role: Senior Manager, Machine Learning
