About

A decade in boutique hospitality — from opening Ace Hotel New York to running properties in Mexico — before moving into product. That's where I learned to anticipate needs, make complexity feel simple, and create experiences people remember.

Those principles now guide how I build AI products: precise, trustworthy, designed for humans.

After founding two companies and leading product for 10 years, I chose depth over altitude — hands-on AI product work because the craft changed, and I wanted mastery in the new tools.

What I bring:

  • LLM platforms with governance that Legal/Security will sign off on
  • Multi-agent systems that ship to production, not just prototype
  • AI adoption strategies that get 90% team adoption in weeks

Currently building Grapevines — an AI career strategist for senior professionals. On the side, proving that the same multi-agent architecture principles apply across domains.

Let's connect

I'm open to senior PM roles at companies building AI products that ship. If you're hiring or just want to chat about AI product strategy, reach out.
