I'm an experienced product executive with a proven track record of building world-class B2C, B2B, and B2B2C products. In 2022, I joined Product School full-time as their VP of Product (Enterprise) to set up a strong foundation for Product School's growth in enterprise training. In 2020, I co-founded Bloom and led our engineering, product, and design teams. Bloom offered the world's first comprehensive set of cohort-based programs designed to prepare professional retirees for a fulfilling retirement, with support from certified retirement coaches, and a likeminded community. Before co-founding Bloom, I was CareGuide’s VP of Product & Design. CareGuide is a portfolio of 26 online marketplaces (petsitter.com, housekeeper.com, sitter.com, etc.) with a mission to pair families and businesses with great care providers. We grew our marketplace to 7,400,000 registered members with more than $140,000,000 in processed payments. Prior to CareGuide, I was CrowdRiff's Head of Product and my team built the world's first AI-powered visual content marketing platform used by the world’s best travel and tourism brands such as Visit California and Zürich Tourism. Before joining CrowdRiff, I led the product innovation team at Financeit powering over 7,800 merchants and $3 billion in payment plan applications. In 2015, I led “Shopify for Startups” program and worked with Shopify’s business and engineering teams to build a world-class developer ecosystem (crucial to Shopify's path to IPO). I worked with more than 400 app partners all around the world to help them build and scale their products. My team and I managed the growth of the Shopify App Store leading to a 84% increase in revenue, 1250 more published apps and a 32% increase in merchant app spend. Prior to starting my career in Product Management, I worked as a Software Engineer and API Engineer at Fortune 500 companies like Google, Series B/C organizations like AppDirect and startups like Tradable Bits. Let's work together and transform your company into a high-performing, customer-centric, design-driven, and product-led organization 🚀
