About
Product leader specializing in AI infrastructure, data platforms, and developer tools. Turns complex technical systems into scalable, revenue-generating platforms with a sustainability-first lens. I spot the failure patterns early, advising portfolio companies on AI infra strategy. IMPACT DELIVERED $2.3B in operational savings at Meta through AI-driven infrastructure automation that transformed millions of misdiagnosed repair tickets into self-healing systems. Modernized MediaMath's $500M+ programmatic advertising platform, enabling AI-augmented bidding at sub-10ms latency while maintaining GDPR compliance. Commercialized quantum photonics technology at Q.ant from research lab to investor-ready product, delivering validated POCs that positioned the company for a $65M raise. WHAT GETS BUILT Product organizations from scratch. Built first product teams at AMD, Q.ant, and Floww, embedding OKRs, roadmaps, and velocity discipline that increased delivery 30-300%. Frameworks that become industry standards. Created intent-based governance models for AI agents, federated coordination protocols, and sustainability frameworks for AI infrastructure. Infrastructure that scales. Systems thinking across hardware, software, data, and operations—translated into products customers understand and businesses can monetize. EXTREMELY TECHNICAL WITH CROSS-DOMAIN PATTERN RECOGNITION Experience spans semiconductors (AMD), defense systems (Lockheed Martin), global data centers (Meta), programmatic advertising (MediaMath), and quantum photonics (Q.ant). A breadth that reveals infra patterns others miss. Sustainability and ethics integrated into infrastructure design as competitive advantage, not afterthought. Good infrastructure: resilient, transparent, built to last. Water footprint visibility, energy economics, and environmental constraints treated as first-order product requirements. Thrive in 0-to-1 environments. Building something new, not iterating on something proven. SEEKING VP Product or Head of Product Strategy at companies building AI infrastructure, data platforms, or developer tools. Ideal: Series B-D companies with stability and growth, or large infrastructure companies with meaningful product challenges.
