Senior Product Manager, Retail Media & Loyalty @ Albertsons Companies

About

I’ve learned some of my biggest product lessons far away from conference rooms — at 18,000 feet on the Kailash–Mansarovar trek. Long, thin-air climbs teach you how to stay calm when terrain shifts, pace yourself when the path is unclear, and push forward with intention. That experience shaped who I am as a Product Manager long before I ever labeled myself as one. Because what trekking at that altitude teaches you is exactly what building products in high-stakes, ambiguous environments demands: how to stay calm when the terrain changes, how to make decisions under pressure, how to spot the real problem beneath the noise, and how to guide others confidently through uncertainty. This is the thread that ties together every chapter of my career across Albertsons, PepsiCo Frito-Lay, JPMorgan Chase, Microsoft, the City of San Diego, and the earlier foundational experiences that taught me how to build scalable systems grounded in human behavior. I specialize in Retail Media, MarTech, Loyalty, and data-driven growth products, where messy systems and ambiguous problems don’t scare me — they energize me. I love stepping into underperforming channels or fragmented ecosystems and finding the levers that transform them into clear, measurable, revenue-generating engines. A few examples of that in action: • At Albertsons, I turned email from a slow, manual channel into a scalable retail media product. I re-architected the workflow, integrated Google Ad Manager, automated creative delivery, and built closed-loop attribution. Campaign setup time dropped 85%, transparency improved, and the channel now generates significant recurring revenue and advertiser trust. • I also led the launch of Albertsons Cash, a unified digital wallet that replaced fragmented rebates and disconnected loyalty experiences. By redesigning the earning + redemption architecture and aligning Finance, POS, Loyalty, and multiple engineering teams, we unlocked $18M in incremental re-spend, improved redemption by 40%, and brought millions of loyalty members back into a closed-loop ecosystem. What I enjoy most is diagnosing root problems, building alignment across diverse teams, and crafting products that are not just functional — but profitable, adoptable, and truly customer-centered. If you’re building or modernizing Retail Media, Loyalty, MarTech, or data-driven experiences — or need someone comfortable navigating ambiguity, difficult terrain, and high expectations — I’d love to connect.
