I build AI products from zero to one, and I teach others how to do the same.Over 12+ years, I've taken AI/ML products from proof-of-concept to launch at Amazon, Nike, T-Mobile, and Disney. The work I love most is early-stage: validating ideas, getting executive greenlight, and shipping MVPs that prove value before scaling. At Nike, that approach drove a $100M annual reduction in product returns.I also teach what I build. I co-created and lead the AI Product Management Certificate at the University of Washington, where experienced PMs ship real GenAI products complete with evaluation plans and GTM strategies. Previously, I trained 4 cohorts at Product School.What I bring: the ability to translate messy AI capabilities into clear product value, align technical and business stakeholders, and move fast without breaking trust. I write about AI PM craft at aipmguru.substack.com.I'm currently exploring opportunities to lead 0→1 AI product work at companies solving meaningful problems. I'm especially energized by AI in healthcare and education, though I'm open to any domain where the product can genuinely improve lives.

Whether I’m creating programs that pave the path for future female Olympians, or building products with innovative teams, I’ve seen first hand how investing in people and using tailored product management processes can supercharge a team’s impact.

• Experienced in leading projects and programs across enterprise and startup environments, primarily focused on building project management frameworks that balance traditional waterfall with agile principles for technical and non-technical products.

• Approaching problems from a "What If? Select. Strike. Reset." framework - I really enjoy brainstorming a mix of solutions, leveraging the resources around me to make the best decision with what we have, leading tangible action, and then evaluating to see how we can improve the next time.

• People-focused leader that leverages individualized consideration to match the strengths of team members with stretch opportunities that promote growth and innovation. Well-versed in leading teams of all sizes (10's to 100's) while overseeing project portfolios on a national scale.

• Industry experience in complex systems such as health care, technology, non-profit, sport, and higher education in both large-scale enterprise operations and startups.
