I lead product strategy and execution across software platforms, operational workflows, and physical products—aligning stakeholders, translating real work into JTBDs and requirements, and driving cross-functional delivery when complexity and risk are high.

What I’m known for:

  • Durable Product Definition: Turning interviews, workflow reality, and operational complexity into themes, JTBDs, validated problems, traceable business requirements, and capability models that support planning and execution.

  • Program-Scale Execution: Driving alignment across product, UX, engineering, and operations from roadmap and backlog structure through delivery readiness and launch.

  • Workflow Improvement: Improving throughput, reducing cycle time, and helping teams modernize workflows, tools, and decision-making in high-complexity environments.

I’m a Technical Product Manager who helps teams deliver when the work spans multiple systems, stakeholders, and constraints. My focus is making decisions executable: turning real user and operational workflows into clear product definition — JTBDs, validated problems, requirements, and delivery-ready plans — and then driving cross-functional execution with engineering and design through launch.

My background is intentionally cross-disciplinary. I started in aerospace and manufacturing environments where quality, timelines, and dependency management are non-negotiable, then moved into enterprise platforms and workflow-heavy internal tools at scale through Nike and 84.51°/Kroger. I’ve also built and launched a patented 0-to-1 product and supported modernization and growth work for smaller businesses — experience that keeps me practical, customer-grounded, and outcomes-driven.

 

How I work

  • Structured, not bureaucratic: I use enough process to create clarity, alignment, and speed — not overhead.

  • Technical and collaborative: I work closely with engineering and design to navigate tradeoffs, constraints, and delivery realities.​

  • Calm in ambiguity: I bring structure to unclear environments and help teams move toward clear decisions and executable plans.

Career Journey

Hardware → Entrepreneur → Software

Early Career

Hardware + Aerospace Foundations

I started in aerospace and advanced manufacturing, delivering complex, high-constraint work where quality, timelines, and dependencies were non-negotiable. I worked across cross-functional execution, process improvement, and technical systems in regulated environments, including programs tied to DoD clearance requirements. This chapter built my systems thinking: how to reduce risk early, align stakeholders, and deliver reliably.

What it gave me: 

Execution Under Constraints.

Dependency Management

Operational Rigor

0→1 Product + Commercial Reality

I became a founder to learn product through direct ownership. I patented and launched a 0-to-1 consumer product, validated demand through testing and iteration, and built the commercial engine across direct-to-consumer and partner channels. This chapter sharpened my product judgment: fast learning loops, practical prioritization, and decisions tied directly to adoption and revenue.

What it gave me:

Enterprise Platforms + Workflow Systems

Today, I apply those foundations to technical product leadership across enterprise platforms, internal tools, and workflow-heavy environments. At Nike and 84.51°/Kroger, I’ve led discovery and delivery work that translated real workflows into JTBDs, validated problems, traceable requirements, and capability structures, then supported cross-functional execution through launch. In parallel, I’ve supported modernization and growth work for small businesses, which keeps my approach practical and outcome-driven.
