About

Product and Program Leader with 15+ years turning bold ideas into products and platforms that touch the lives of over a billion users and drive multi-billion-dollar business growth at Microsoft, Amazon, and Google. From building 0→1 products that broke new ground, to scaling mature platforms across Retail, Supply Chain, E-Commerce, Ads, Video, and Security, my career has been about finding the sweet spot where innovation meets scale. I’ve led cross-functional teams through ambiguous, high-stakes problems, aligning engineering, design, data science, and business stakeholders to deliver results that endure. My style blends strategic platform thinking, deep customer empathy, and a bias for measurable impact. What excites me most? 1. Turning complexity into elegant, scalable solutions 2. Building teams that thrive on ownership and creativity 3. Shaping products that change the way people live, work, and connect I thrive at the intersection of technology, business strategy, and customer experience — and I’m just getting started. The next chapter is about pushing the boundaries of what global platforms can do for customers, communities, and the world.
