Bio

17 Years of Startup and Enterprise Product Leadership

My career started by building some of the early iconic eCommerce websites and Apps as employee #4 at Quidsi: Diapers.com, Soap.com, Wag.com, and more.


Post-Amazon acquisition, I rejoined many Quidsi alums to help transform Walmart.com. My team was responsible for the site redesign and new merchandising capabilities.


Beyond commerce and marketplace, I’ve helped scale apps like The Bump and Silvur and media properties like Refinery29.

eCommerce & Marketplaces

From launching 10 Quidsi sites in four years to a $550MM Amazon acquisition to relaunching a modern Walmart to building out composable MACH eCommerce for HealthyBaby, I have the experience to help you bring your commerce vision to life.

Apps

My teams created The Bump, the first pregnancy app for Millennials, which jetted up to be the #1 pregnancy app in the App Store, and Silvur, the first retirement app for Baby Boomers that went on to Apple featuring it at launch and then being embedded in the mobile apps of Credit Unions across the country.

Media

My team helped to transform Refinery29 from a small fashion blog into the Millennial media destination it is today and a $400MM acquisition. If you have a dream of how your content can become the next media powerhouse, let’s work together.

Product Execution

I have launched 18 Zero-to-One products and nearly as many to their next significant iteration.


No matter how complex your vision, I bring the experience, judgment, and rigor to help you define, secure resources, and execute at a high level.


Let’s Talk

I help Founders and CEOs develop and execute their strategic goals.


On time and on budget.


I can secure ongoing resources, hire Product and Technology teams, and foster a strong product culture and process.


You dream it, I build it.
