I have over 6 years of experience in product management with a background in customer-facing sales and account management positions, making it easy to stay close to the customer now. I've delivered impactful experiences across domains (B2B/B2C, Native Mobile/Web, SMB/Mid-Market) that delight customers and help achieve business goals. I achieve this with a design thinking centricity and the people first mindset I bring to my leadership. I thrive in pairing an iterative and data-driven approach with a growth mindset to any cross-functional project, and have a bias to act decisively, think independently, and communicate effectively. My PM superpowers are: Data-driven decision making Continuous discovery and customer research Leadership and collaboration And by the way... I love to have fun while I'm doing it! Personally, I've seen every episode of Friends and Seinfeld too many times to count. I love cookies and sour candy, have a knack for sarcasm and I spend more time with my two dogs than I do other humans.
