01

Platform strategy & product definition

I like starting with the messy problems nobody has quite named yet and working out what the product should actually do about them.

02

Cross-team alignment

A lot of slowdowns aren't technical. I spend real time on the shared understanding that lets disparate teams move together.

03

Execution model innovation

How a team decides what to work on matters as much as the work itself. I'm interested in getting that process right, not just following a framework.

04

Customer & partner engagement loops

In platform work, customer signal is easy to lose. I've built research and feedback structures that keep the team connected to real usage rather than assumptions.

05

AI for PM productivity

I use AI tools heavily in my own work and think carefully about where they help PMs think better versus just produce more output faster.

06

Team health & culture

Culture is a retention strategy. It's also what holds a high-performance team together when things get hard. I treat it as a serious input to the work, not a reward for finishing it.
