Product Leader.

I take B2B and enterprise platforms from concept to market, and build the teams, standards and operating rhythm that keep them shipping. Most recently: McLane360, a unified customer platform our team took from concept to launch in six months, and ValuFact, an AI-native financial-intelligence product I built end to end.

Key Strengths

Self-Sufficient

Most can tell what needs to be done; a few can show how. I prototype in code and have shipped production features myself, and I build teams that work the same way: our AI-assisted prototyping practice at McLane cut UI design cycles from months to one to two weeks.

Resourceful

I accomplish more with less, and I buy before I build until an idea is validated. At Storia that meant growing past a million monthly users on a startup budget; at Frumatic it meant turning an in-house UX capability into a service line that brought in 20% of 2022 revenue.

Analytical

I decide with evidence and set the bar before the result is in: satisfaction targets for launches, pre-registered acceptance tests for models, and a plain rule instead of AI wherever the rule measures better.

Now

I lead eCommerce product and UI/UX at McLane, a Berkshire Hathaway company, where our team launched McLane360 in August 2026.

I don't take consulting work, but I'm always glad to talk with product leaders, founders and teams building serious B2B software. Say hello.
