Eighteen years across product, operations and ventures. The detail — every role, its dates and scope, and the figures that carry a source — is on the Experience page.
Four things, one method
Product leadership
Strategy, discovery, roadmap, portfolio. From a problem nobody has named to a thing people pay for.
Business architecture
Operating models, process design, org structure. Making the company able to do the thing repeatedly, not once.
Growth & go-to-market
Positioning, channels, the funnel, the price. Why the second thousand customers cost less than the first.
Management consulting
Finding the right problem before solving the wrong one. Structuring decisions that a board can actually take.
Six ventures, with the problem stated first
The full portfolio has thirteen — including the ones that did not work.
