Bio
Building and growing a company is HARD.
Even with a strong product, smart people, and a big vision, the gaps between strategy and execution show up fast.
Whether your product team is scaling quickly, still taking shape, or hasn’t been built yet, things start to feel messy—priorities compete, alignment slips, and decisions get stuck. And sometimes, you’re not even sure what kind of product leadership you actually need.
That’s where I come in.
I work with product-led companies (or service-led companies wanting to become product-led) at critical inflection points: when you’re building, growing, or evolving, and need strategic support to bring clarity, cohesion, and real momentum across your teams.
Sometimes that means working 1:1 with founders or functional leaders. Sometimes it means stepping in alongside full product teams to help establish stronger collaboration, product thinking, or leadership practices. Whatever the structure, the goal is the same: to help you move forward, with purpose.
My experience spans startups to global orgs, in-house and agency, across the full product lifecycle. I bring a systems-level view, a strong coaching mindset, and a calm but candid presence to every engagement. You get someone who can not only see the whole picture, but help you align around it and act on it.
Focus areas include:
✨ Product org design & team structure
✨ Cross-functional alignment & collaboration
✨ Strategic advising & facilitation
✨ Leadership coaching for product-minded roles
✨ Navigating AI & complexity without losing your human edge
I do this independently and in partnership with my team at Product Gold, where we help product leaders and companies bring their vision to life, without the chaos.
Curious if we can help? Let’s talk.
