Work with me
I help teams ship AI products without losing product craft. 20 years across engineering, product leadership, and AI-native development. I'm selective—I want real challenges and teams that value evidence over opinions.
Full-time roles
What I'm looking for
Product leadership roles at companies where AI is the product, not a feature. VP, Director, or equivalent scope.
Must-haves
- → AI/ML is central to the product (not a wrapper)
- → Strategic scope with real product authority
- → Hard problems, not maintenance work
- → Leadership team that values evidence over opinions
Nice-to-haves
- → Technical founders who understand AI's constraints
- → Stage with resources to execute, not too bureaucratic
- → Cross-functional teams already collaborating well
What I bring
AI-native product expertise
I understand what changes when AI is the executor: model decisions as product decisions, non-deterministic outputs, discovery methods for emergent capabilities.
Engineering fluency
8 years writing code, 10+ leading product. No translation layer needed between vision and implementation. I can architect systems, not just describe them.
0→1 track record
Built and launched products from scratch multiple times. I know the messy middle where most products die—and how to navigate it.
Intelligence systems
Built systems that surface the signals that matter—customer jobs, friction points, missed opportunities. Not dashboards people ignore.
Team building
Hired, mentored, and scaled product teams. I can level up your existing team while we build.
Ready to talk?
Contact me with company context, role scope, team structure, key challenges, and why this requires senior product leadership.
Get in touchAdvisory
I work with a small number of companies on strategic advisory engagements. These aren't typical consulting projects—they're partnerships with teams that want to level up their product practice.
AI Product Strategy
You're building an AI product but struggling with validation, roadmapping, or defining success. Traditional product methods don't quite work.
Product Intelligence Systems
Your team is drowning in customer feedback but has no real insight. You need a system that surfaces the signals that matter.
Product Discovery
You're shipping features but not sure they're the right ones. You need to build a discovery practice that actually works.
Product Team Development
You're scaling your product team and need help with operating models or leveling up senior PMs. Not training—real operational work.
Typical engagement
3-6 months, 1-2 days per week, focused on solving a specific strategic problem.
What I don't do
Fractional PM work · Discovery workshops · Training programs · Quick fixes
Speaking
I speak at conferences and events focused on AI product management, product leadership, and the future of product work.
Topics I cover
- → AI/ML product management (the real version, not the hype)
- → What product management becomes as AI handles execution
- → Product intelligence and customer insight systems
- → Evidence-based product strategy
- → Building and leading product teams in the AI era
Events I prefer
- Practitioner-focused conferences (under 500 people)
- Single-track or highly curated multi-track
- Events that pay speakers or cover expenses
Events I avoid
- Big vendor conferences where speaking is marketing
- Webinars or virtual-only events
- Panels (prefer solo talks or fireside chats)
Specific, thoughtful inquiries get responses within 48 hours
Vague "let's chat" emails get ignored. Tell me what you're building and why you think I'd be a fit.
