Enterprise Product Design Leader | Cybersecurity, SaaS & Data Platforms | Product Strategy, Systems Thinking & Design Leadership

About

I’m an enterprise product design leader with 24+ years in design, including 19+ years designing and leading complex B2B, enterprise SaaS, cybersecurity, and data-platform experiences. At IBM Security, I lead enterprise product design across IBM Guardium, a data-security platform spanning cloud-native and on-premises environments. My work includes platform management, integrations, enterprise reporting, data retention, compliance, and AI-assisted workflows. I combine product strategy, enterprise UX strategy, systems thinking, platform design, and design leadership. I remain hands-on with end-to-end workflows, information architecture, product concepts, prototypes, and design systems—helping teams turn complex technical requirements into clear, scalable experiences. I partner with product managers, engineers, researchers, architects, and senior business stakeholders to frame ambiguous problems, set direction, align decisions, and connect user needs with product and business outcomes. I also coach designers through critiques, workflow reviews, and design-quality guidance. My experience includes Carbon Design System adoption, accessibility, enterprise UX standards, and reusable design practices across cross-product, cloud-native, and on-premises products. I design and evaluate human-centered AI experiences, including AI-assisted workflows, natural-language query concepts, guided reporting, and human-in-the-loop decision support. My strongest areas include: • Enterprise product and UX strategy • Cybersecurity, data security, enterprise SaaS, and data platforms • Product strategy, platform design, and complex workflow design • Systems thinking, information architecture, and cross-product direction • Design systems, accessibility, and enterprise UX standards • AI product design, AI-assisted workflows, and human-centered AI • Cross-functional leadership and executive stakeholder alignment • Design leadership, coaching, and design quality I’m interested in Principal, Staff, and Lead Product Design opportunities, including senior design-leadership roles, where I can shape direction across complex enterprise products, influence senior stakeholders, coach designers, and remain meaningfully hands-on.
