Product & Process Advisory
Then I fix where it stalls.
15+ years across product and technical teams at IBM, VMware, Glassdoor, and more. I help growing teams find the exact point where things break down, and get them moving again, whether that's an established process or a team just getting started.
For over 15+ years I've led complex, cross-functional technical projects at IBM, VMware, and Glassdoor. I have led early discovery through execution across both B2B and B2C. I've taken new products to market, led initiatives that touched multiple teams, and re-architected core platforms.
What I bring is the ability to walk into a system, understand how it works, and find the smallest set of changes that unlock movement. That same instinct is what a small team needs most in its early days: someone who can see the whole system before it calcifies, and shape it before complexity builds up.
For early-stage teams
You're building for the first time and ramping up a team, often distributed. I bring the same discovery and structuring approach in early, so the complexity that trips up growing teams doesn't get the chance to build up.
For established teams
Something that used to work has stopped scaling: a handoff between teams, a support queue, a process no one owns. I map the current flow, find where it actually breaks, and fix it with the smallest change that works.
Distributed Teams
Hands-on experience leading distributed development teams across time zones, both as a direct manager and as a Salesforce partner consultant helping other companies structure the same kind of work.
Staff Me Up
Brought in to help a media and entertainment hiring platform vet and hire for its product team, evaluating candidates against the specific needs of a fast-moving, gig-economy-facing product.
Kōkūn
Worked hands-on with an early-stage nonprofit founder to take a product helping people navigate chronic conditions from idea to a cohesive, shippable releases.
VMware
Took an internal learning tool from concept to market, owning the product end to end and turning an internal-only resource into a shippable product.
Glassdoor
Co-led an AI enablement workstream to speed up the product development lifecycle, bringing AI tooling directly into how the team plans and ships.
IBM
Worked in IBM's program management office on federal engagements, orchestrating release cycles and cross-program dependencies across large, regulated systems, ensuring complex, multi-team work is moving.
Glassdoor · Indeed
Mapped a broken cross-team flow spanning a company merger, identified the exact bottleneck, and implemented process and product fixes, including clearer customer messaging, that measurably cut support cases.
“The biggest value for me has been that you have been a thought partner as well as an execution partner at a very critical stage, which is going from vision to execution.”
A free 30-minute conversation is usually enough to tell whether I can help, and what it would look like.
