“Great product managers get it right in the end – not out of the gates. Make bold moves, celebrate failures as learning and act with urgency. Afraid to fail is fear of success.”
End-to-end product leadership from research and voice of customer through new product launches, engagement optimization and measurable ROI. I turn insights into products that turbo charge the needle.
Organizational turnarounds and building out full product suites. Restructuring teams, overhauling delivery orgs and expanding into new markets – from single products to full platform suites of products.
Transforming onboarding, IDV and fraud management to optimize CAC. Maximizing engagement with feature enhancements and new product launches. Leading build/buy/partner decisions to manage expense and speed to market to maximize margins. The full lifecycle, covered.
Three transformations. Three different challenges. One consistent outcome: results.
I built a de novo scalable BNPL experience and platform across 5 countries and 3 distinct product launches: Pay in 4 (US), Pay in 3 (UK), Pay in 4x (FR) and Pay in 30 (DE). Within the 1st year, we acquired 3 million customers and achieved 40% repeat usage within 90 days – then we scaled to 25M+ customers in less than 2 years. PayPal CEO Dan Schulman said he had never seen a product launch with that kind of scale so quickly in his tenure.
As GM of Retail and Head of Product, I owned the P&L and managed the retail team and was Interim CTO over a 350 person engineering department. Built and launched the complete blockchain banking suite: Yield Savings, the first-ever Bitcoin Credit Card ($2B annualized spend), Lending, Custody and Trading. Simultaneously rebuilt the core platform, drove 99.9% uptime from an unstable state in 3 months and established SOX/SOC2/GDPR infrastructure for IPO readiness.
I overhauled both the product and org structure across a 300+ person team. Increased onboarding by 43%, boosted NPS by 22 points, 4x’d hero product adoption and rebuilt the fraud team to cut losses by 92%. Restructured the entire delivery org: rehiring 70% of PM, Design and Fraud talent – while recovering $5.7M in lost subscription fees. EBITDA positive and profitable in 1 and a half years.
Whether you need a turnaround, a product leader or someone who’s built at the scale you’re chasing – let’s talk.
