Areas of Expertise

01
Strategy & Vision

Product strategy built at companies disrupting markets that didn't fully exist yet. Turns ambiguity into a clear direction teams can execute.

02
Team Building

Recruited and built product management and technical sales teams from scratch, multiple times — the talent infrastructure that turns a founder's vision into a repeatable business.

03
Operational Excellence

Designed the operating structures that let fast-moving companies scale without breaking, particularly through the inflection points that catch most teams off guard.

04
AI & Machine Learning

Built and led products where AI and ML are the core differentiator: audience modeling, video classification, deep learning, and contextual targeting.

Built for the early days of hard problems.

A consistent pattern: early entry into category-defining companies, building the teams and products that made them.
