With over 10 years of experience in strategy and product marketing, I have led global, cross-functional, and high-performance teams to drive growth, innovation, and customer value across Web3, Web2, and traditional organizations. I am passionate about leveraging edge technologies to create positive social impact and democratize access to the internet. Recently, I led Product Marketing at Solana Labs, the creator of Solana, a high-performance blockchain made for mass adoption. I directed GTM activities for Solana Labs across various verticals and I have successfully launched several products, such as Solana Mobile Chapter 2, GameShift, Bond, the Solana Incubator, and the Solana Labs ChatGPT Plugin. Previously, I was the Director of Product Marketing, Strategy and Operations at Polygon Labs, where I built and led a team of 12 PMMs, established the Strategy and Ops function, and developed and implemented effective product messaging, positioning, and GTM strategies for all products and protocols in Polygon's suite.
