What got me into tech was a simple question, "How would you like to work on a product that has 100M users?" As an architect, I immediately thought, "I'll never make a building like that."

What has kept me in tech has been seeing the impact of that work: for the people who use our products, for the way that transforms into business success, and for how we've learned what to do (or not do) in order to get there. It has been humbling and inspiring.

Tech doesn’t just change ability the way a hammer changes the capacity of a human arm. It transforms people and society by fundamentally altering our mindset around what is possible. It changes our aspirations. This ability to unlock human capability and behavior is incredibly powerful in organizations and products.

When you apply this to problems that impact everyday people, the scope of impact is huge. Take the areas of relationship management, finance, wellness, and analytics. They cross boundaries, are deeply entangled in human behavior and motivation, and are foundational to functioning society.

For the past 14 years, I’ve been a hybrid design and product leader with strong strategic thinking and executional skills. I’ve worked at seed round through IPO scale, most recently focusing on how to scale leadership across larger organizations and build my bench.
