About Me

I am a seasoned professional with extensive experience driving product management and product success. Recognized for demonstrating a natural aptitude for strategic planning and process improvement, I have a verifiable history of optimizing product value, revenue growth, and customer satisfaction. Professional focal points include strategy & planning, product management, and entrepreneurship. My core competency comes from understanding core pain points and developing solutions.  Currently, I am the Manager, Strategy and Operations with Hat and Beyond. Leading cross-functional teams, I spearhead product management operations, generating $20M in 2020 despite COVID-19. I also continually identify and champion process enhancements, such as reducing inventory and improving accuracy through the implementation of Agile methodology. Colleagues describe me as a progressive, driven, down-to-earth, analytical, and managerial expert who can be relied on to deliver significant results on time and under budget.
