    I love building consumer products, growing communities, and have been a PM x Community lead for 13+ years. I’ve been part of early startups and big tech, from employee #20 up. In 2018, I joined Wyze to help grow our mobile app. I now lead a team of 8 with an expanded scope to different platform areas. Grew from 200k to 6M+ customers and 3x in revenue.
