I translate the vision, solidify the roadmap, optimize the team, and set up a process that can run smoothly, efficiently, and objectively with minimal input.
Three operator exits, two as a founder. VP of Product at an S&P 500 bank. Senior PM at Google.
Most recently I built the Chicago Bulls' tech org from two engineers to a full team — cutting vendor spend 85% and doubling fan engagement in under a year.
A head of product at the seniority you need right now — without the cost or commitment of a full‑time exec. I translate the strategy, build it into a roadmap, optimize the team, and set something up that can run smoothly and objectively with minimal input.
Hiring plans, career ladders, and objective ways of measuring performance — the foundation most companies lay years late (or never!). I've stood it up at an NBA team, an S&P500 bank, a 50‑person product studio, start-ups, and more.
I'm a Computer Science - Psychology double major who became a software engineer turned product manager turned product executive. I'll read (and understand!) architecture docs, surface product trade-offs, and intently put AI to work so smaller teams ship like big ones.
Most teams are either buried by or skip the menial work for the interesting stuff. At an S&P 500 bank, I cut process overhead by up to 60% without sacrificing auditable documentation. Today, with AI tooling and the right skills (.md), overhead can be cut by even more.
You won't have to explain compliance to me.

Stands up product organizations and the standards and procedures that hold them together. VP of Product at First Republic, CPO at Matter Product Studio, de facto CPO at the Chicago Bulls. I translate fluently between the C-level, board room, and the people doing the work.
Never stopped shipping. CS degree, production code at Epic, built dozens of apps from scratch (including two #1 in the App Store apps). I can still sit with your engineers and happily build alongside them.
