I am a servant leader, managing teams composed of Data Scientists, Engineers and Product Managers across a AR/VR product on web, mobile and distributed cloud architectures. In my capacity as CTO, I've overseen and managed the delivery of major product initiatives driving the growth of AEDITs OKRs and KPI's. I have helped nurture a development environment that starts with engineers, includes product roles and is given visibility through DataOps. In addition to that I have overseen team expansion through aggressive recruitment and mentoring of existing team members.In my capacity as VP of Product & Analytics, I have fostered a data driven culture to stimulate growth throughout the organization. By putting "the voice of the customer" first we have built a mentality of strong feedback loops into our product development process. I own the product strategy, roadmap creation and maintenance for the entire product. This includes identification of market opportunities for potential product impact, cost & build estimates and justification for capital investment.
