About

Achievements

I founded multiple businesses, been the first PM at a startup, and grew product organizations in several companies. I launched Trance, a B2C video platform for dance that had 72% retention after a week and 9 app opens/day from the top quartile. I led the core product at Origin, a B2B fintech providing financial planning as a benefit through employers, where I led the automation of 50% of advice given by financial planners, pivoting the company from a services business model to a SaaS platform. I currently provide product and UX services in a fractional capacity, including at Circle which is the creator or USDC, the most well-known and regulated stablecoin in the Web3/blockchain space.
