Product Leadership / AI Workflows / Execution

I build product systems from ambiguity to adoption.

Product operator with a bias for execution across AI-native workflows, regulated markets, and zero-to-one bets. I turn unclear mandates into shipped products, measurable outcomes, and teams that know what to do next.

Latest signal: exploring AI-native workflows for product teams, product leadership with execution proof, and shipping with evidence.
