(Who am I)
I didn't start in product. I started in finance and consulting, where everything was structured and modeled.
Moving into startups forced me into a completely different world—one with messy data, undefined problems, and decisions made without perfect information.
That shift changed how I think and work. I operate best in high-ambiguity environments by structuring problems, defining direction, and driving execution from unclear inputs.
For the past 9+ years, that's been the constant. I've worked across early-stage startups, B2B SaaS, and defense tech, building new product lines, scaling user growth, and delivering 5-figure MRR in a new B2B vertical. My work has consistently focused on breaking down messy problems, finding signal, and shipping solutions that move the business forward.
