Creating Products People Can’t Live Without
To me, product management is about building solutions people truly need, even beyond what they think they want. I’m passionate about taking ideas from a concept to impactful products that resonate with millions, addressing core needs in ways that make users say, “Finally!”
Leading Teams Through Trust and Collaboration
My experience leading teams at startups and PayPal taught me that trust and collaboration drive real innovation. By fostering a space where ideas flow and wins are celebrated, I aim to help teams solve tough problems together and unlock their best potential.
Delivering Business Value
Drawing from my experience in building businesses, I focus on delivering value to both customers and the company. By creating high-quality products that customers are eager to pay for, I generate tangible business impact and drive significant profits.

Leading High-Performance Teams to Build and Scale Award-Winning, Revenue-Generating Global Products
I led product and cross-functional teams with an average attrition rate of just 5%. Under my leadership, these teams built award-winning products from the ground up, scaling them to serve 430 million consumers and 29 million businesses across over 200 countries. The products we developed generated $6.7 billion in revenue.
Selected Projects
Director of Product Management, PayPal
Driven by a passion to create a dlightful customer service for 400+ millions of PayPal users, I built, coached, and led a talented product management team. Together we developed innovative products that reduced agents' case resolution time while significantly improving support quality for customers.
CPO, CEO & Founder, Fable Inc
Our team built Fable with an idea to connect families through stories. We wanted to make sure that grandparents living far away from their grandkids and busy parents can have a tool to build bonds with their little ones, share their love of books, and create memories.
With Fable, parents and grandparents can record themselves reading books out loud, personalize them, or even create a story about their little ones, and kids can listen to their recordings while watching the book's illustrations again and again.
CEO& Co-Founder, Curbsidr
Our team created Curbsidr with a mission to streamline life for busy professionals, delivering on-demand services directly to company curbsides. We made it effortless and cost-effective for businesses to offer added perks for their employees. Our corporate clients have included First Republic Bank, Expedia, Samsung, Flir, 8x8, and many more.
We brought gourmet food trucks to companies and their employees and were planning to bring medical vans, dental vans, car services, dry-cleaning, and even mobile fitness training vans to them too.
Senior Manager, Mobile Strategic Initiatives, PayPal
Our team pioneered PayPal’s first physical device—a versatile credit card reader—alongside comprehensive e-commerce and fulfillment solutions and innovative mobile applications. We successfully scaled these offerings to enable millions of small businesses in the US, UK, Canada, and Australia to accept credit card payments anywhere. This breakthrough empowered entrepreneurs to expand their business seamlessly, enhancing their ability to serve customers wherever they are.
Senior Manager, Global Product Management and Strategy, PayPal
I spearheaded PayPal’s product strategy, crafting a dynamic roadmap for our extensive portfolio through competitive analysis, identification of portfolio gaps, and leveraging emerging social and technological trends. By fostering alignment among top-level executives, I effectively prioritized initiatives that advanced our strategic objectives.
Setting the vision for the next generation of omni-channel commerce products and services, including our innovative digital wallet, I drove the development of solutions that meet modern consumer needs. Additionally, I enhanced the express checkout experience—the core engine behind the majority of PayPal’s products—and successfully scaled it to serve customers in 158 countries, ensuring a seamless and efficient user experience globally.
