I’m the Chief Product Officer at Luxury Presence, one of the fastest-growing real estate technology platforms, where I lead product and design. My focus is on rethinking how products can be built with AI — from accelerating prototyping to reshaping how teams collaborate and deliver value.
Over the past 20 years, I’ve had the opportunity to build and scale product organizations at both startups and large companies, including Microsoft, TiVo, and Autodesk. At BuildingConnected, I joined as the first executive hire and grew the product team from the ground up, launching multiple revenue-generating product lines and helping scale the company to a $285M acquisition by Autodesk. At Autodesk, I went on to lead a global product development organization of 100+ product managers, designers, researchers, and engineers.
I stay active in the product community, sharing lessons from my experience and exploring how AI is transforming the craft of product management. I’ve become a recognized voice for how AI is driving meaningful changes in the way products are conceived, built, and tested, and I coach other leaders on how to adapt to these new ways of working.
Outside of work, I’m usually with my two young daughters, discovering new food spots in San Francisco, or cheering on the Giants at Oracle Park.
