Product Leader | Ex-Google, Microsoft, ADP | ISB

About

I lead product strategy for AI-powered consumer and platform products. Most recently, I helped shape Google's transition to AI-first Search by leading the strategy and execution for top-of-the page structured experiences for language-intent queries globally, serving >300M daily active users and ~2B monthly active users — operating at the intersection of Search and GenAI, and translating ambiguous, first-of-its-kind AI bets into shipped experiences at global scale. Previously at ADP, I led a team of 12 Product Managers while owning the vision, strategy and roadmap for the Workforce Management products portfolio within ADP's next-generation HCM platform. I helped build the flagship WFM product from 0→1 and scale it to its first 18 enterprise customers. I enjoy creating clarity in ambiguous spaces, aligning organizations around a shared vision, and building products that scale globally.
