I’m a product guy obsessed with transformational products, desperate to solve customer problems and passionate about user-centric design. I’ve worked both web and mobile products and have experience managing mature products and launching brand, spanking-new ones, too.Working in startups, I’ve had the opportunity to own every aspect of my products. From sales to implementation planning; product design to product migration, I’ve diligently worked on every facet of my products, and I wouldn’t have it any other way. I believe that being a great product leader is an art and there are no shortcuts to building great products; solve problems, understand customers, fail quickly, ship often, and learn when to say “No”.Whether you’re in the product field or not, add me to your network! I’m always looking to talk to and learn from other professionals!
