10+ years as user experience and product management executive, most recently working on both Search and Material Design at Google. Having worked as an engineer, PM, and UX Designer (and as IC and Manager in all 3 disciplines), I am uniquely positioned to help your company improve your user experience teams. If you're a startup just building out a UX team, I can assist with getting it off the ground. If you want to improve your UX processes, I can help improve how your UX team interacts with Product Management, Engineering and other areas. Need someone to step in and manager your UX or Product team while a key leader is out on leave? I can help. And if you just need advice on how to improve the new UX you or your team is working on, I'm happy to review the designs and give feedback. I have diverse experience creating customer-focused, award-winning products, and SaaS/PaaS services for video streaming, print-on-demand, retail, and software industries from startup to Fortune 500. Passionate about creating simple, elegant solutions to complex problems. Successfully contributed to fast-paced growth of 2 startups, with extensive large company experience, leading product management and user experience, accelerating revenue, product line, and personnel growth, introducing UX discipline, product management strategy and lifecycle processes, including agile and outcome-driven innovation (ODI). 15+ years of people management experience, mentoring, and motivating high performing teams and building successful cross-functional collaborative relationships; strong interpersonal skills and effective communicator at all levels. Able to balance the needs of customers and stakeholders.

At the helm of Twilio's Voice, Video, and Flex product lines, my focus is on pioneering VoiceAI and Conversational AI innovations that redefine customer interactions. Overseeing a significant business segment, we're committed to empowering developers and customers globally with cutting-edge APIs. My role extends beyond product management, as a mentor at Techstars, where I leverage over 20 years of experience to guide budding entrepreneurs in areas critical to startup success, including product development and UX. The journey from founding a Techstars Chicago class to leading Twilio's product initiatives exemplifies a trajectory marked by strategic leadership and a deep understanding of market needs. With a solid track record in product and business leadership in fast moving technology companies, my team and I thrive on crafting solutions that not only drive revenue but also foster meaningful connections through technology. At our core, we're about nurturing innovation and sculpting the future of both SaaS and API service platforms.

Engineering leader with 25+ years of experience driving platform modernization, scaling infrastructure, and enabling fast, reliable software delivery. I help organizations transition from legacy systems to modern service-oriented architectures, with a focus on DevOps, engineering operations, and cross-functional execution. At Bolt, I’ve led efforts across platform, AI, mobile, crypto, and InfoSec. I helped ship the mobile app to the App Store in just 20 days and scaled it to general availability within 6 months. I supported strategic fintech integrations, drove the rollout of DevRev to improve engineering workflows across teams, and overhauled observability by cleaning up noisy dashboards and standardizing telemetry. I also played a key role in stabilizing engineering teams, refining on-call, and reducing burnout. Supporting Bolt’s AI teams, I managed infrastructure needs with Terraform-based IaC, providing scalable environments for experimentation and production use. Previously at Ripple, I built the CBDC infrastructure in 6 months, launched core DevOps practices across RippleX, and cut over $1.3M in cloud spend, while supporting every RippleX dev team building on the XRPL. As a early AI adopter I helped ship one of Ripple's first RAG LLMs trained on XRPL SDK documentation for our XRPL Foundation partner. Focused on systems that scale, teams that thrive, and delivery that keeps the human factor in focus.
