Boston, MA — Product & Strategy
Product leader & founder. I build minimum lovable products — software that doesn't just satisfy customers, it delights them.
About
Fifteen-plus years turning ambiguous problems into products people love — from an eight-person startup sold to HubSpot, to ML-powered ad platforms, to the marketing engine behind hundreds of thousands of brands.
Engineer by training. Mechanical engineering at Villanova — where I also pitched for the baseball team — then an MBA in strategy & new business creation at Ohio State's Fisher College.
Founder at heart. Startups teach you to be scrappy. Real runways create real urgency — chase faster, make smarter moves, keep the customer in the room.
Operator in practice. I've scaled product teams across ad tech, marketplaces, and martech — always closest to the customer feedback loop.
The Journey

Built a mobile app that connected people through common friends. Learned what real urgency feels like when the runway is measured in months — and what it takes to get acquired.

Operating Principles
A minimum lovable product earns an emotional reaction — even as a prototype. Satisfied customers churn; delighted ones tell their friends.
Solving problems in partnership with customers is the only way to win. Anything else is a waste of time and money.
Real constraints create real urgency. Chase faster, make smarter moves, and never confuse motion with progress.
No matter how powerful the ML gets, all it can do is find the right people. The product still has to close the deal.
