If I were to try to describe myself in one word, it would be "builder". I love building lots of different things: products, teams, strategies, whole businesses; the more parts, and the fewer instructions the better. I've been fortunate to have had great experiences at some truly incredible companies, like Google, Meta/Facebook, Netflix, Snap, and some startups. The journeys I've been a part of have taught me lots, with the following lessons standing out most: 1️⃣ Scientific thinking is imperative for good decisions: make a hypothesis, get the right data, and validate. 2️⃣ In spite of 1, sometimes, you need to take a calculated risk. Science has its bounds, and on occasion (if the pool looks clean enough and deep enough), you need to take a plunge. 3️⃣ "Life is long" and relationships matter. Invest in yourself and in those around you, and foster positivity. Most importantly: 4️⃣ A business or team needs 1, 2, *and* 3 to flourish. If any of these are missing, a group ends up with no strategy, no innovation, or no people.
