I embed with startup teams as a senior product leader and operator — bridging strategy and execution so founders can focus on growth instead of getting stuck in it.

I'm brought in when a startup needs someone who can hold both the big picture and the ground-level execution — not just advise from the sideline, but actually move things forward. I reduce founder decision load without losing momentum, and I stay until something works.
I absorb execution across product, ops, and AI strategy so CEOs can focus on growth. I take ownership of whatever the team needs — from roadmap to release to tooling setup.
I've driven AI-powered MVPs to production-ready products from inside the team. I know how to scope, build, and ship with AI — not just recommend it.
I serve as the connective tissue between leadership, engineering, and design — cutting through ambiguity, surfacing priorities, and keeping everyone moving in the same direction.
From B2B pivots and consumer app launches to enterprise platforms and AI tooling — I've navigated complex product decisions across industries and company stages.
I'm a regular at Boulder and Denver's AI and startup community events, as an attendee and sometimes a speaker. I've spoken at Boulder Startup Week, the AI Impact Forum, Denver AI, and Women in AI, and I co-organize AI & Product, a meetup for product people navigating the AI landscape.
I work with a small number of startups at a time so I can be genuinely useful. If you're figuring out what to build, how to ship faster, or how to bring AI into your product — reach out.
