Product / Technology
I’m an experienced product & technology leader living and working in Brooklyn, NY.

I’ve worked in ad tech, digital → direct mail, cross border e-commerce, online luxury resale, and most excitingly, a short stint in the music biz.

I’ve had success in designing, developing, marketing, and launching 0-1 products and new lines of business at startups and growth-stage companies. I’m a great cross-discipline communicator with a strong bias for action dead-set on delivering great outcomes for all stakeholders.
Update: I'm doing some fractional Head of Product / CPO work. Get in touch if you need a hand.

The Only Interview Question That Matters

Wrote an article about an interview question that my friend and colleague Rob Victor devised. Works great for hiring exceptional employees for modern 0-25-stage companies.

I needed to replace Doodle for scheduling my sandlot baseball game, yearly trip to North Tahoe, meet ups w/ fmr. engineering colleagues, and all the casual events that are part of our lives.
