I build AI-powered B2B products and the product operating systems that scale them. Hands-on player-coach for PMF→scale using AI‑native build workflows to speed discovery, decision-making, and delivery. Known for: - 0→1→Scale: Stand up V1s fast, find repeatable value, then build the systems for 1→n. - Activation→Retention: Diagnose friction, improve time-to-value, and compound engagement. - AI in the Product OS: Decision-making and workflow automation embedded across discovery→delivery - AI Product Quality: Model evals, testing, HITL, observability, and guardrails for reliable + safe outcomes. - Product Operating Systems: OKRs/North Star, Product Ops, discovery→delivery standards. - Player‑Coach Leadership: hands-on product execution while growing talent and cross‑functional cadence. Experience: - VP/Dir Product, Quartz Network: Scaled multiple 0→1 platforms into growth engines at 8-figure run-rate; led portfolio strategy across events and a B2B marketplace; set exec/board operating cadence (OKRs, North Star, portfolio allocation). Rebuilt the data platform to power AI features and automated onboarding. - AI impact: Monetized AI recommendations/matching to materially lift revenue per transaction and conversion; increased match diversity and reduced time-to-value; embedded experimentation and analytics to inform pricing, packaging, and roadmap. - Org builder: Built the end-to-end product operating system: Product Ops, career ladder, discovery-to-delivery standards, roadmap/OKR reviews; hired the founding product/design/data/program/support bench that scaled cross-functionally. - Earlier: First PM at Quartz creating a new revenue engine from scratch; at Gif Your Game, shipped an ML highlight generator and social platform to drive multi-x MAU and sharing; at Lighthaus, founded an ML early-warning platform with published research and innovation wins.
