NEW YORK, NY
Engineer by trade and fintech geek by passion, I build product organizations grounded in trust, customer obsession, and continuous learning. With a decade in fintech spanning consulting, product management, and product strategy, I bring a rare mix of technical depth and strategic execution. I've taken products from 0 to 1, grown junior PMs into senior roles, and translated complex financial infrastructure into measurable business outcomes. Outside the day-to-day, I'm an active voice in the industry through over a dozen conference talks and publications.
