Product & Design leader building high-functioning, happy product teams
I've been building teams and shipping products in wildly different creative and business environments for more than 20 years - startups (co-founder @dodgeball, head of product @Foursquare), large tech & media companies (Google, The New York Times), digital agencies (R/GA, Razorfish) and an amazing technology meets-art graduate program (NYU’s Interactive Telecommunications Program).
I consider myself lucky to be part of a generation of people who deeply understand life before and after technology became a part of our daily lives and I'm grateful to have gotten to help create a bunch of products that sat at the intersection of emerging consumer behavior and exciting new technology
I've held Product and Product Design leadership roles in a handful of consumer spaces that each presented unique and exciting challenges - mobile social software, health & fitness, smart home hardware and media.
Most recently I was Head of Audio Product at The New York Times where I built a new 40+ person team that launched the company’s first new app in 9 years (NYT Audio - love audio or audio-curious? Give it a try!) and led work to bring a first class audio experience to our core news app through a new Listen tab and automated voice-powered narration of the day’s news articles.
I've also operated as a fractional Head of Product and leadership development coach.
