About

I'm a senior product leader with 30 years of experience across cybersecurity platforms, enterprise SaaS, digital marketing, and consumer electronics. My work centers on building 0-to-1 SaaS products, managing multi-team product portfolios, and developing product organizations that operate with rigor, customer focus, and consistent delivery. I operate at the intersection of strategy, engineering, and real-world customer workflows. At this point in my career, developing other product managers is just as important to me as shipping great products.

How I Work

I specialize in turning complex, multi-team initiatives into clear product strategies and measurable outcomes. Whether launching a new platform, rescuing a stalled program, or driving a certification effort across engineering and compliance teams, I focus on clarity, cross-functional alignment, and value that customers can feel immediately.

My background includes direct product ownership in OT and critical infrastructure environments. At Lumension Security, the endpoint security products I managed were deployed on factory floors at Toyota, at nuclear power plants operating under SCADA requirements, at water treatment facilities, and with operational teams where security failures have physical consequences. That experience shaped how I think about product requirements, risk tolerance, and what precision actually demands from a product organization.

I also bring hands-on technical fluency across Windows, macOS, Linux, cloud platforms, and distributed systems. This allows me to partner deeply with engineering while keeping customer needs and business impact at the center of every decision. I use AI tools actively in my product practice, including Claude Code for research, prototyping, and documentation.

Leadership Philosophy

Customer Understanding

I start with what customers are trying to accomplish, where friction exists, and how the product can meaningfully improve their workflow.

Technical Credibility

I build trust with engineering by understanding constraints, asking the right questions, and translating business needs into actionable requirements.

Cross-Functional Alignment

I work closely with SOC, Support, Customer Success, and Sales Engineering to ensure the product is usable, supportable, and valuable from day one.

Impact Over Activity

I prioritize outcomes over output, focusing on adoption, stability, and customer value rather than feature volume.

Team Development

I invest in the product managers and owners I work with, raising the capability and standards of the organization beyond my own product areas. At this stage of my career, helping a PM team get better is as important as shipping a great product myself.

Career Highlights

Led the 0-to-1 launch of BD Platform, an MDR and XDR SaaS portal, reaching 80% customer adoption in year one across seven major releases with zero moderate or severe release incidents.
Rescued the Vision Agent JET project after more than a year of stalled development and delivered a GA-ready release in three months.
Managed Application Control and Device Control products deployed on more than two million endpoints globally, generating $16 million in annual revenue across enterprise, government, and critical infrastructure markets.
Delivered OT security products to Toyota factory floors, nuclear power plants under SCADA requirements, water treatment facilities, and an F1 racing team.
Earned NIST FIPS 140-2 certification for a core endpoint security product, enabling expansion into U.S. federal agencies and regulated critical infrastructure operators.
Built BrandShadow, an enterprise behavioral data analytics platform that ingested signals at scale, applied linguistic and influence analysis, and surfaced insights for enterprise marketing teams.
Managed a $200 million consumer electronics portfolio with 15 to 20 direct reports, including development of the world's first DVD+VCR combination unit.
Mentored and developed colleagues in Product Manager, Product Owner, and Scrum Master roles, raising organizational standards beyond my own product areas.

Personal Note

I'm driven by building technology that is purposeful, useful, and genuinely valuable. I enjoy working with teams that care about craft, clarity, and impact, and I find that the skills that make a great product leader transfer more completely across industries than most people expect. My career has taken me from consumer electronics to digital marketing to enterprise cybersecurity, and each domain change has made me a more versatile and curious product leader.

Outside of work, I'm based in Scottsdale, Arizona. I stay current with the tools shaping modern product development, including AI-native workflows, and I'm always looking to learn something new.
