I help Series A to C startups shift from an engineering-led approach to a customer-first product mindset—turning great technology into products people love.

With over a decade in Product Management, I’ve led teams at SendGrid, Twilio, Temporal, and mParticle, specializing in Product-Led Growth (PLG), APIs, and Developer Experience. At Temporal, my PLG strategy helped convert 14% of self-signups within three months, driving 1B+ user actions in six months.

Beyond product, I’m passionate about team building, mentorship, and leadership, helping teams cut through chaos, prioritize effectively, and execute with clarity—a focus I cover in my book, Squashing Chaos.

I live in Denver, Colorado, with my family, where I balance strategy, hiking, and chasing my kids. Whether speaking, writing, or advising, my goal is to make work more meaningful and impactful.
I have led Product Management training on prioritization frameworks (RICE) and the Product Development Lifecycle (PDLC), helping teams shift from reactive decision-making to structured, customer-driven execution. My workshops and talks focus on aligning teams, balancing stakeholder needs, and optimizing product impact.

Beyond Product Management, I’ve spoken on Developer Relations, Developer Experience (DX), and API Strategy—guiding companies on how to build developer-friendly products, improve adoption, and drive long-term engagement. My talks cover best practices in API design, onboarding, and self-serve growth, ensuring developers get value quickly and efficiently.

Whether speaking at conferences, team offsites, or virtual events, my focus is practical insights over theory—helping teams walk away with actionable strategies they can implement immediately. I enjoy making complex topics approachable, driving clarity, and helping organizations bridge the gap between product, engineering, and customer needs.
