Facebook's new mission (https://www.facebook.com/notes/mark-zuckerberg/building-global-community/10154544292806634/) is to bring the world closer together by giving people the power to build strong communities. The Groups team is at the heart of that mission. Today, over 1 billion people use Facebook Groups to participate in communities that are meaningful to them, on the most important topics in our lives — our families, our health, our work, our neighborhoods, our causes and passions.In the Groups team, we believe that we can improve the lives of people by increasing the connections they have to meaningful communities. Strong social bonds with communities improves well-being, makes people more economically stable, culturally tolerant, and civically engaged.

I managed a team of PMs at Pinterest who focus on how Pinterest acquires, understands, and displays content. Highlights:* Hired a team of PMs to support the company's new focus on content. Together we significantly improved the quality of content on the site, increasing the relevancy, recency, and actionability of pins. Projects have included the creation of a Pinterest entity graph, pin & link canonicalization efforts, and the maintenance & evolution of the company’s core data infrastructure* Led a company effort to grow social interaction on Pinterest, including the launch of Tried It, which allows pinners to share their experiences with the ideas they find on Pinterest.* Launched the company’s native video effort across all platforms, along with a partnership program with Pinterest-appropriate content creators. Video has been highly engaging on the organic side & a significant source of new revenue * Led acquisitions to bring critical skills into the company, including URX & Math Camp (maker of Highlight), as well as Instapaper, to expand Pinterest’s footprint in the world of Saving.

I worked on several products at Facebook across Games, Messenger, and Commerce* My team launched Payments in Messenger in March 2015 as a way to increase the usefulness of Messenger & create a platform to help drive the company's Commerce efforts. Part of this included payments support for the M Personal assistant, which launched in August 2015* In 2013 we grew Facebook Games revenue substantially through operational improvements, new agreements with partners, and optimizations with developers. My team negotiated & signed deals with several global partners to launch card-linked offers and other payments products.* I also led a team that organized the company's hackathons. We reversed a years-long decline in participation, and the most successful projects are now broadcast live each quarter to an audience of millions. This gave me broad exposure to the work going on across Facebook's family of apps & to the executives who ran them.
