Need a capable senior partner with absurdly high standards who knows how to close the gap between vision and done?

I've been building user-centered products and services for over 15 years, with deep experience across user research, UX, product management, and ops. AI strategy and tooling is now a key part of that work.

Because I start with the people, not the technology—understanding what motivates them and what stands between them and adoption—AI becomes real leverage, not just another cost center.

I've worked with companies of all sorts who need a hands-on leader who can get up to speed quickly and produce high-quality output. I have a strong interest in the independent worker economy: the companies, member associations, and platforms building the infrastructure that makes taking a bet on yourself actually viable.
