About Me

Our boat from the 2015 Texas Water Safari. The finish line of this 100-hour, 260-mile canoe race sure felt good - but years later it's the effort to get there that I remember most fondly.

Our boat from the 2015 Texas Water Safari. Over 260 miles, you have to learn to love the journey.

I'm a technology executive and highly experienced software product leader. I have particularly deep expertise in SaaS and B2B software, and in agile, product-led growth models that blend product closely with go-to-market. I'm a builder - I was the kid who would play with legos for hours, and as an adult I've built many great businesses, products, and teams.

Product comes naturally to me - as an engineer, a musician, and a writer, I am uniquely able to go deep on design, engineering, and business. A strong intuitive, I am able to listen, synthesize huge amounts of information into product strategy, and communicate that strategy in a compelling way. An experienced leader and manager, I get really invested in helping people develop and the building and guiding of highly capable teams that can turn strategy into successful products.

Unlike others I have not spent my whole 25-year career in Product. I have a broad, generalist skillset - I've done successful turns as a VP Sales, VP Marketing, and Software Architect. I’ve been a pre-sales engineer, an on-quota seller, an agency-side digital marketer, and run a global software support team. This unique path brings strong, practical market perspective to my Product approach - and gives me the ability to connect to all the people in an organization, and to customers.
