Core strengths

How I drive clarity from strategy through launch—and keep teams aligned on what matters in market.

Product strategy

Framing problems, prioritizing bets, and connecting roadmap to business outcomes.

Product development

0→1 specs, timelines, and tradeoffs that get buildable products out the door.

Go-to-market

Launch plans, channel coordination, and crisp narratives for retail and digital.

Cross-functional execution

R&D, ops, sales, and marketing rowing in the same direction with shared goals.

Performance & iteration

KPIs, post-launch reads, and fast learning loops—without losing the long-term bet.

Selected work

Case studies focused on context, ownership, execution, and outcomes—two product tracks plus supporting GTM work.

About

I'm a Product Manager who likes owning the messy middle—turning strategy into specs, launches, and revenue. Over 3+ years I've focused on 0→1 CPG and eCommerce: defining what to build, aligning R&D and GTM, and shipping SKUs that perform in retail, DTC, and online marketplaces.

Before product I came up through finance and accounting (EY, Reach Out, UCLA Economics). That background shows up in how I work—comfortable in spreadsheets and boardrooms, skeptical of vanity metrics, and focused on outcomes teams can bank.
