πAbout me
Tough problems, and people are what motivate me every day when I wake up. From the board room as an Exec of a Startup to managing people at a large Tech company. So many of the same principles of good Product, Design, and working with people are constants. Before Product & Design, I thought I wanted to go into Robotics (BG: Electrical Eng and CS), but found my ultimate passion is in problem solving for people. In particular I love helping companies and employees unlock experiences that get out of the way of their customers and help them be better humans in and outside of work. B2B is hard, but incredibly rewarding, as is the path for being a good servant leader.
