About

Purpose-Driven Product Leadership

With roots in software engineering and deep expertise in user experience and research, I turn complex, constraint-heavy problems into intuitive experiences that scale. A freshly minted Executive MBA (University of South Florida, ’25) adds sharper financial rigor and change-management insight to two decades of design-led impact across Fortune 500, start-up, and public-sector teams.

Operating Principles

Design Thinking Everywhere - applied to product, internal process and org structures to spark innovation and eliminate waste
Continuous Improvement Loops - data-backed rituals that turn feedback into prioritized, high-ROI action.
Inclusive by Default - WCAG AA baseline woven from concept to handoff in every platform
Distributed Team Stewardship - remote-first practices that keep cross-time-zone squads aligned and engaged.
