Hook

I turn operational complexity into competitive advantage — across connected experiences, AI-enabled products, and 0-to-1 builds.

Proof

I’ve spent 20+ years building products in industries where failure has real consequences. Most recently I led connected-product work spanning mobile, IoT, privacy and consent, OTA, and subscriptions at Lucid Motors, after product leadership at Panasonic Avionics.

Executive product leader — shipped connected/mobile platforms, privacy/OTA programs, and org-building for hardware + software teams.

Method

I’m at my best when the system is messy: hardware + software, cross-functional teams, and customer outcomes that have to ship — not just slide well.

Mission

I have served in nonprofit governance for over a decade, including through periods of genuine institutional strain.

Before asking what a board should decide, I ask who holds the authority to decide it. I treat governing documents as binding on the people who wrote them, not merely on everyone else. And I build transparency into structure rather than asking for it in meetings — systems outlast good intentions.

Governance is most valuable when it is boring. My work is making it boring.

Human

Outside work: family, Liverpool FC, basketball, and hiking.
