I am a product manager based out of Raleigh, NC. My passion is helping companies deliver outcomes that create client value. I do this by being a client advocate, doing in-depth market evaluation, and looking at competing products to identify unique ways to drive revenue while focusing on the most important thing...customer loyalty and satisfaction.
My ideal company is one that has the courage to allow for radical change, with the promise of significant growth. I fundamentally believe that startup culture is not limited to small organizations. Building empowered, highly effective, and passionate teams of thought-leaders is my strength.
DOWNLOAD MY CVBeing in product, my skills branch widely across client advocacy, sales, marketing, strategy, finance, and Engineering. What I'm best at, is using my knowledge in these various areas to lead groups building products people love.
