VP / Sr. Director–level product executive specializing in AI-enabled SaaS, API & data platforms. I build real AI products, lead high-stakes platform transformations, and advise founders on strategy, positioning, and growth.
I'm a product executive with over 15 years of experience building and scaling platforms at the intersection of technology, data, and business strategy. I've led product at companies ranging from Fortune 500 enterprises to early-stage startups — and I've done it across some of the most complex domains in tech: payments, identity, geospatial intelligence, workforce management, and AI.
My career has been defined by high-ambiguity, high-stakes product challenges. At Visa, I conceived and shipped the company's first production GenAI workflow — a dispute authoring system that cut merchant work time by 50% and contributed to 43% year-over-year revenue growth for the Post-Purchase division. I also built the 5-year strategic roadmap to expand the total addressable market by 95% and increase profitability by 150%, and led a multi-year platform migration coordinating 50+ people across three countries.
Before Visa, at LightBox, I decomposed a monolithic GIS mapping system into reusable API-first services and rebuilt the data supply chain across 60+ vendors and 1,000+ government sources — reducing annual costs by over $300K and supporting $60M+ in platform revenue. At CoreLogic, I defined CLIP — a persistent property identifier — that increased property match rates from 76% to 95% using ML-driven entity resolution, processing 1,200 requests per second.
Earlier in my career at Deloitte Consulting, I led 10+ digital transformations for American Express (600-person Waterfall-to-Agile shift), Activision, JPMorgan Chase, Toyota Financial Services, Intel Security, US Cellular, Sysco, and more.
In 2021 I founded Northstar Product Group to bring senior product judgment to founders and executives who need it without the full-time cost. Through NPG I provide fractional product leadership, strategic advisory, and GTM guidance — primarily for early-stage SaaS and FinTech companies.
Recent advisory engagements include MemberPoint (SMB membership and payments platform — customer segmentation, MVP scope, UX optimization, launch readiness) and Pledge (friends-and-family lending concept — foundational product framing, assumption challenge, early market validation).
I believe the most valuable product leaders of the next decade will be those who don't just understand AI — they build with it. I run an integrated AI development environment called Antigravity, combining Claude Code, Codex/GPT-4o, and Gemini with a unified GitHub workflow. Every engagement I run and every project I build leverages these tools: faster research, sharper deliverables, and prototype-level validation of product ideas before a single sprint is planned.
This website itself was designed and built with AI assistance — an example of the kind of AI-native work that I bring to every engagement.
