Design-Driven
Product Leadership

I'm a product leader who's spent over two decades taking products from idea to launch — as a designer, builder and CPO. Today I help teams work in new ways: making the shift from static Figma mockups to designing and building with AI, and bringing that change into how the whole organization ships.

Product Strategy & Leadership

Vision, strategy and execution to bring products to life. I help teams figure out what to build and why, then lead the cross-functional work to ship it — from early concept through launch and the iteration that follows. I've done this as CPO, CEO and Head of Product across startups and growing teams.

  • +Product vision, strategy & roadmaps
  • +0–to–1+ product development
  • +Cross-functional team leadership
  • +Discovery, validation & go-to-market
  • +Product growth & scaling
"Good design is as little design as possible.
Less, but better." Dieter Rams

Design & Build with AI

The way teams build is changing fast, and most are still stuck in static Figma files. I help organizations make the shift to designing and building with AI — prototyping in real, working interfaces, validating ideas in days, and weaving AI into the everyday product process. Less hand-off, more momentum.

  • +From static mockups to working prototypes
  • +Bringing AI into the design & build workflow
  • +Upskilling teams to leverage AI tooling
  • +Faster idea-to-validation cycles

Fractional Leadership & Advising

Senior product leadership without the full-time hire. I'll help you sharpen strategy, define an MVP worth building and coach your team to ship — including how to modernize the way they work. Drawn from experience co-founding startups like Setmore and leading products used by millions.

  • +Fractional CPO & product leadership
  • +Strategy & opportunity mapping
  • +MVP definition & rapid iteration
  • +Team mentorship & coaching

Let's build something.

Whether you're shaping a new product or rethinking how your team works, I'd love to hear about it.
