Who am I?Highlighted post.
A while back I sat down at a coffee shop in LA, alone, while on vacation with the family — to do some self-reflection.
I’ve been fortunate to work with truly exceptional people on some innovative and challenging products over time, but getting down-on-paper how we do things was proving difficult. I was stuck. I’d done some design exercises prior, so just started writing — in first-person.

What do I do?Highlighted post.
I'm an experienced product and tech executive with over 25 years in leadership, product management, R&D, and management consulting. I'm an entrepreneur as comfortable advising private and growth equity firms on growth-stage companies as with large multi-national boards and their cross-functional teams.
I am responsible, at Crosslake, as a product owner and Regional Director for Platform and Product Transformation and I advise Private Equity firms on their Investment Strategies as well as pre- and post-close Integration on ensuring and accelerating value.
Prior to joining Crosslake in 2019, I held executive roles in Product and R&D and have led numerous transformations and growth-stage turnarounds. As the first Director of Solutions and Business Innovation Partner at Neudesic, now an IBM company, I led strategic product development and go-to-market solutions for Xerox/Conduent, Pulte, and Wells Fargo — and later at Honeywell and Ticketmaster.
