I’m a seasoned strategy, product, marketing, and operations executive focused on creating high-growth opportunities within organizations. I have a successful track record of innovation that leads to award-winning products that make a positive impact on people’s lives. I've held leadership positions for strategy, corporate development, product, marketing, optimization, and customer service teams. I have a proven record of success in building and growing high-performance teams to address complex market conditions.My philosophy is to build cross-functional teams measured on outcomes (not output) that are empowered to figure out the best ways to solve problems through the application of user-centered design that is Agile and Lean. The teams are supported to continuously improve, test their premises, and relentlessly pursue eliminating waste, all while performing within a collegial environment.Technical and analytical skills are strongly fostered to drive trust and confidence in engineering, furthering the capability of doing data-driven investigations. It is important to champion and recruit for high EQ, track records of good relationships with engineering, and a willingness to argue an unpopular position without creating charged political environments.I’ve found that intentional management along these dimensions gives teams a better shot at enriching the vision, creativity, team diversity, and individual autonomy. Ultimately, this leads to a true sense of ownership for team members.I have held executive leadership positions with Bold, FICO, Credit.com, and One Technologies. I hold a BA in Economics from Hartwick College and am an alumnus of the Stanford Graduate School of Business Executive Education Program.
