I work where business goals, technical constraints and real customer behavior pull against each other. Most of that has been in AI, SaaS and enterprise software.

About

I'm a product and business solutions leader, and I've been on the founder side as well. I've helped build AI-powered platforms, B2B SaaS products and enterprise applications across fintech, healthcare, supply chain, education and marketplaces. That work has been with startups, growing technology companies and enterprise customers.

The job is much the same in every case. I take complicated requirements and turn them into products that are clear to use and worth paying for.

How I work

  • 01

    Start with the problem

    Understand the customer and the business context before writing a roadmap.

  • 02

    Create clarity from complexity

    Turn broad goals and fragmented requirements into a direction teams can act on.

  • 03

    Connect strategy with execution

    Stay involved past the roadmap, through delivery and launch.

  • 04

    Focus on outcomes

    A feature counts when it changes how customers work or moves the business.

02

What I do

  • Product strategy

    Working out what to build when sales, operations, compliance and customers all want something different. The output is a roadmap a team can execute and a business can defend.

  • AI and automation

    AI, machine learning and automation earn their place when they remove real work: research synthesis, and the back-office steps nobody wants to do by hand.

  • Client consulting

    Briefs and real problems are often different things. Most of this work is sitting with clients and stakeholders long enough to tell them apart.

  • Go-to-market

    Positioning, packaging and launch for products sold to businesses, where the buyer, the user and the budget holder are rarely the same person.

  • Delivery leadership

    Keeping product, design, engineering and business teams pointed the same way through delivery. That includes the integrations, business rules and regional requirements that surface late in enterprise builds.

03

Experience

Applied AI

Strategy and development across consumer research, conversational intelligence and workflow automation, turning behavioral and qualitative data into insights business users can act on.

Enterprise & B2B platforms

Platforms for distribution, financial services, healthcare and operations. Many stakeholders, many integrations and regional requirements, kept usable and scalable.

Zero to launch

An HR marketplace, a digital education platform, a healthcare product and startup builds, taken from discovery through validation, delivery and early go-to-market.
