Product Strategy
Set a clear direction you can defend, and decide what to build when the path forward isn't obvious.
Senior product judgment for the moments that matter: deciding what to build, developing the PMs who build it, and getting stakeholders, customers and audiences on board.
Where I've shipped: connected-vehicle SOCs at HARMAN, AP-payments at Stampli, email security at Perception-Point/Fortinet, IT analytics at HP Software, 3D land management software at Sivan Design.
What I bring across all of them: LLM-powered detection flows, anomaly scoring (4 patents), partner-channel GTM, distributed R&D leadership across IL/US/DE, and a UX-PM bridge built on a Cognitive Psych. M.A.

I'm the senior product person you bring in when the answer isn't obvious. I help teams make sharper product decisions, develop the PMs making them, and communicate them clearly to stakeholders, customers and audiences. Product strategy, UX, mentoring and communication are not separate skills for me, they're one way of seeing the same problem.
A big product decision is unclear and the stakes are high.
An MVP needs scoping, or a product needs to pivot.
A PM or product team needs to level up, fast.
Stakeholders aren't aligned and the product is stuck.
A complex product story needs to land, on stage or with customers.
You want an independent, senior second opinion before you commit.
I combine product strategy with a deep UX background and a Cognitive Psychology M.A., so I look at both the decision and the person on the other side of it. I ask the uncomfortable questions early, I care more about the right call than a tidy deliverable, and I stay close enough to the work to be useful, not just advisory.
Whether the engagement is a product strategy, a mentoring relationship or a keynote, the job is the same: turn something fuzzy into something clear that people can act on.
