Product is what is seen and unseen. 18+ years on executive goals to aligning holistic products, from strategy to shipping in weeks. Conveying the root problem, solution, and business risks of inaction that rallies team success.

I ambitiously work through chaos to find clarity.

A product executive who has shipped 29+ product transformations, including TIAA, United Airlines, and F100 enterprise (Accenture) and MarTech (Sapient) work. Not just technical, but human adoption - relevant for AI pilot success. Recent delivery performance exceeded prospecting targets at 63%, improving intake t-shirt sizing delivery velocity up to 41%, hitting 100% WCAG compliance, and raising subscription rates 97%. Lead with data-driven storytelling, and coach teams on decision autonomy to apply AI workflow alignment pilots in Jira, sharpening team agreements in CX focus. Aligning C-suite roadmaps to mentoring my global teams, I deliver with business focus. I make it stick.

Defining good & great: between AI-intel and human-qualified decisions.

AI upskilling is falling short. At TIAA, I outlined “good” versus “great” team criteria that significantly removed stalled decisions in delivery, adding critical-thinking autonomy on competitive differentiation. 12-years of team playbooks (Pivotal Moments™) has evolved to agentic skills to parallel team decisions, and apply a human-layer harness for AI workflows to measurable team KPIs. With 29 certifications across AI, PM, and business strategy, I close gaps between AI investment and AI workforce impact.

Team decision autonomy with clarity expedites workforce execution.

Co-led 32 enterprise and CX transformations, including AI-assisted product and e-commerce apps, connecting strategic executive goals with AI-insights, product management, and MSM business strategy specialization certifications. This product solutions portfolio validates my holistic approach - from zero-failure deployments at United to heavily regulated, bi-weekly delivery at TIAA with team AI upskilling. Paired with Emmy Award-winning design craft, I run lean/flat, globally-synchronized teams to ship quick, and stick.

I empower team ownership with decision clarity and prioritized risk.

Product Leadership applied


01

Handwritten notes on lined paper discussing a topic related to incident types, analysis, and future considerations.

First, I identify gaps between customer demands and business development discovery for decisive executive clarity via from insights and data storytelling. At United, we found that fliers valued compensation when it was immediately recognized, lifting CX scores. At Nuveen, I raised a design system urgency critical to enterprise deployments.

Quantitative, Qualitative Research, Ethnography, Segment Data Analysis, Discovery Workshops, UX Gap Research, Brand Messaging, AI-led Correlational Studies, Longitudinal, A/B Testing


02

A detailed flowchart explaining the Caterpillar customer relationship management lifecycle, including stages like follow-up customer pricing meeting, final complete presentation, last call, final decision, win/loss review, sales closure follow-up, finalize discount, real-time availability check, pricing approval, real-time quote changes, conveying discount, and other processes with illustrations of people working at desks and using computers.

How do we get there? Executive top-down execution demands bottom-up cross-functional feasibilty for prioritizing parallel transformational success. At TIAA, evaluated research with KPI touchpoint scorecards to prioritize planning. At Caterpillar, aligned their global sales and product teams to adopt a planned rollout of a unified SFMC orchestration.

Product Vision, Gap Analysis Planning, Journey Maps, Service and System Blueprints, Omnichannel Journey Orchestration, Barriers to Success, Business Use Cases, Service Prototyping


03

18 years bridging product, marketing, design, business, and engineering teams from Jira roadmaps embedded with journey/service blueprint feasibility. Data-rich research with product, brand scorecards to prioritize sprint grooming. At United, I co-led mobile strategies with (new) WSJF, saving $8.4M YoY without disrupting 4.7K daily flights.

Roadmaps, Business Prioritizations, Forecast Planning, PRDs, Backlog Sprint Grooming, Burn Down, Feasibility Epics, Jobs-to-be-done, User Stories, Design Requirements, Annotated Designs


04

Good design weighs everything, from empathy, constraints, and the root "why" behind a problem. In 12 months at TIAA, my team applied scaled components in 42 deployments, a new 0-1 design system in 4 months, content storytelling, and design workshops to coordinate enterprise deployments. An AI PFM app in 11 weeks.

Figma Design Systems, Pattern Libraries, Design Playbooks, Content Strategy, Narrative Frameworks and IA, Rapid Prototyping, Annotated Delivery, Templates, Visual Branding, Vibe-coded prototypes


05

Lastly, there is no finish line. I measure to optimize behaviors across journey and loyalty engagements while improving ROI. At Samsung, I ran weekly segmentation analytics to optimize site-wide deployments. At Stellantis, I applied omni-channel CRM team playbooks for measuring ownership care management.

Engagement Analytics, CX Analysis, Customer Segmentation & Targeting Optimization, Personalization, Omnichannel Journey Orchestration, Brand Development/Messaging Marketing Playbooks

Screenshots of a Samsung mobile app interface for selecting a TV placement location and preferences. The first screen displays options for where the TV will go, such as living room, bedroom, kitchen, outdoors, or entertainment room. The second screen asks what kind of content excites the user most, with options like movies, sports, gaming, decor, smart TV, or all, along with price range and navigation buttons.

With three dozen solutioned case studies available, I turn complexity into executive storytelling.

Companies often avoid status quo risks, in keeping with competitors. Yet that is where CX opportunities are most abundant.
A new level of agility: AI is fundamentally challenging the workforce with market forces, requiring autonomy and adoption: critical thinking and rapid pilot testing for roadmap agility.
