Founded an AI customer-research platform to turn conversations into product decisions. Designed and built voice and video interviews, audience targeting and AI synthesis.
Owned product strategy, design, engineering and go-to-market. Used customer evidence to assess the opportunity and chose not to scale the venture alone.
I help AI and technology businesses turn technical capability into market demand and product adoption. My work brings together product strategy, engineering fluency and global go-to-market leadership.
