Product Builder & Advisor

About

I build products people come back to every day. Rather than just building features, I move the business needles that matter most - Growth, Adoption, and Retention. As a Product Leader operating as a player-coach, I specialize in transforming complex, unstructured problems into scalable B2B SaaS solutions that directly impact the P&L. With more than a decade in product management, I have scaled AI-native platforms across Digital workplace, Employee Experience, HR Tech, Talent Acquisition, and enterprise workflow systems. Core Impact Playbook: Growth & Acquisition: Built 0→1 and 1→N platform products, launched marketplace integration ecosystems, and expanded capabilities across SMB, mid-market, and enterprise segments to unlock new revenue streams. Product Adoption: Leveraged agentic AI, personalization, and advanced search algorithms to optimize user workflows, cutting consumption friction by up to 30% and boosting feature adoption from 20% to over 45%. Churn Reduction & Retention: Protected multi-million-dollar ARR portfolios by designing AI-driven onboarding engines and leading the strategic sunsetting of brittle legacy infrastructure to maximize customer health.
