Summary
I am a product and technology consultant to growth companies and startups looking to accelerate validation of new product opportunities and generate customer success. I have over 20 years experience delivering technology products in different industries that allows me to quickly pattern match and contribute. I am a "doer" delivering across entire product lifecycle – strategy formation, POCs, MVP, initial go-to-market, and at scale. Unlike some consultants who bring a one-size fits all solutions, I enjoy digging in with the business, product and development leaders helping solve their difficult problems that fits with their team, industry, customers, and stakeholders. I can efficiently function in a staff augmentation role on a short term basis as a full-stack product manager (strategy, execution, business results) or in a fractional leadership role helping to guide new teams of product leaders. In addition to my experience as a product manager, I've been a VP Product, CTO (x2), CEO, and Venture Capitalist. See below for more.
