Working on an AI-powered app on the blockchain to manage fusion reactors as they power quantum computers via room temperature superconductors. Only one of these is true. 😂

During the pandemic, I went remote. After spending hours in Zoom calls and hearing/saying "You're on Mute!" a thousand times, I worked night and weekends with a friend to build a physical, lighted mute button. That button became the first mütesync mute button and launched me on a path to make remote-work more tolerable. As Co-founder, I managed all aspects of the brand, design, marketing, sales, support, and fulfillment while my co-founder, an engineer by trade, handled app development and manufacturing. We found skilled partners, used the latest tools, and automated processes so mütesync was a low touch, profitable, DTC e-com business. In 2024, mütesync was acquired by MuteMe and continues to offer mute buttons and other devices for remote work.

At TapClicks I managed the half of the global product organization focused on Data and Platform. During my tenure I focused on bringing transparency and accountability to the product roadmap, clear communication, and measurement of product progress. I'm proud of the work we did to ship iterative, impactful projects.In addition to managing the product team, I continued to directly PM a strategic ETL product.

I joined AdStage in the early days when the product was being moved out of Beta. Over the next 5+ years I worked closely with the two co-founders to make AdStage successful. My primary focus was managing the product roadmap but I also helped manage other departments as we grew. By the time AdStage was acquired I had managed Customer Success, Sales, Marketing, Design, and Operations. I am immensely proud of the culture, people, and product we built at AdStage and consider it one of my greatest professional achievements.

Kenshoo was the leader in paid ad optimization for major retailers and entering the SMB market via their "Kenshoo Local" offering for Media and SMB-focused Agencies. I was brought on to lead the Local product team as well as manage dedicated resources in sales, marketing, CS, product and engineering. In a short time we managed to build a market leading product and grew the nascent Local offering into a meaningful portion of the Kenshoo revenue base.

Started in the trenches selling yellowpages and internet ads to small businesses. After earning top ranks, I was promoted to run a sales team and handled all the staffing, training, incentives and overall management of the regional sales team. After success in the role I was asked to move to our corporate office to train all new sales hires on the sales process. After running the new hire bootcamps, I was asked to help with the product launch of a new Google Ads product. In that role I helped revise the legacy sales process, develop collateral, rewrite sales lyrics and physically facilitate a nationwide training program for 5,000 salespeople.
