Product Leader in Silicon Valley
I love daily doses of product strategy and operations. I get the ultimate joy from empowering people to give shape to their imaginations and realizing their full potential.
I have built 0-to-1 products, made Amazon S3 a tad better, and owned outcomes for a ~$20B dollar business.
An inquisitive explorer by nature, I have traveled to five continents and visited all 50 states. I read 100 books a year, and here are my thoughts on how you can make it happen too.
I write weekly on Substack. See Featured Media section below to subscribe.
