I'm a data and product leader who loves helping organizations get the most from their data. I've driven AI/ML-powered product innovation at companies like Vivint and Dropbox, leading teams to build data-driven solutions that enhance customer engagement and business performance. My passion lies in transforming data into a strategic asset, moving it from a siloed resource into the connective tissue that drives value across the organization, empowering teams to leverage AI, anticipate trends, and unlock growth.
Outside of Work
Want to connect, but maybe you, like my wife, need an occasional data-free zone? No problem! When I'm not working, I'm usually outside—climbing, skiing, biking, etc. I'm on a personal quest to ski every continent, Six down, one to go. Oh, I'm terrified of birds. They have swords for mouths it's incredibly scary.
