A Bit About Me
I started my career in publishing and advertising and moved into technology about 10 years ago. My entry into tech was at a boot-strapped Digital Asset Management startup as their second employee. This was my launch pad for eventually becoming a product manager. I was able to work very closely with customers, build up a Customer Success department from the ground up, and work closely with the founders on product plans, market research, and development.
Over the years, I was able to move into more senior Product roles and eventually even built my own startup. I have deep product experience in Enterprise SaaS, B2B, and eCommerce applications.
