Chief Product Officer

Yelp helps people connect with great local businesses. People use Yelp to search for everything from the city's tastiest burger to the most renowned cardiologist.

I enjoy advising early stage founders and companies focused on ai, consumer marketplaces, Saas, edtech, and ecommerce. I’m open to new opportunities at growth stage companies that are looking for a leader with strong product sense and a knack for getting things done. Time flies by when I’m working with cross-functional teams clarifying customer pain points, refining product strategy, and creating delightful user experiences. I’m a listener who loves learning and helping talented teams do their best work. At Yelp, I had the opportunity to scale product management, design, data science, and user research teams to a 185-person organization as the company leaned into product-led growth. Before Yelp, I spent several years at early-stage startups building zero-to-one products and happily doing the dishes.
