I’m committed to building products for impact. I enjoy the end-to-end product development cycle across hardware, software, consumer and B2B web and apps: the special mix of teaming to formulate the vision and strategy, building consensus across departments, mentoring a team, and diving into the details of wireframes, requirements, roadmaps, launches, and iteration. My work across big companies and startups focuses on creating technology that connects with people. I see product as layers of dialog to build trusting relationships and engagement to achieve business goals.
