I’ve spent twelve years building product at Intuit, SimilarWeb, my own AI/ML startup, and the startup I’m founding now. I’ve also spent a decade in front of a room: lecture halls, accelerator cohorts, conference stages, MBA classrooms, high-school auditoriums. Since 2016 I’ve run a parallel speaking and advisory practice for founders and startup teams. The work funds the teaching, the teaching builds the audience, and both feed the practice. That’s the brand: not retired, not theoretical. Operator depth, taught with a teacher’s clarity.
Keynotes for conferences, industry panels, and executive events. Topics include AI productization, building product at scale, and the operator’s playbook.
Hands-on workshops and lectures for accelerator cohorts, university programs, and corporate product teams. Signature talk: From the Ground Up.
Hands-on product help for startups: strategy reviews, AI productization, and fractional product leadership.
