Introduction
and Bio
What I have done
I have been a successful software product executive for 20 years.
All my professional experience is in growing & scaling B2B SaaS companies.
I co-founded and grew two software tech companies, exiting both through acquisition.
What I’m always doing
Defining product strategy and aligning stakeholders to deliver on our vision.
Articulating and championing the product management function with founders, executives, teammates, colleagues and peers.
Pushing myself to live an increasingly sustainable life and reducing the negative impacts on our planet.
Where I am heading
I am transitioning my career, focusing on 3 climate tech sectors: electrification, mobility, and clean energy infrastructure.
I will continue to be drawn to early-stage software opportunities, helping to validate product-market fit.
Leading by example, I will coach and inspire other champions to engage to achieve the greatest impact.

Generative AI Research
