Share on:
I've been a technical product leader in software for nearly 20 years, with 15 of that in FinTech and Payments. Most recently I have led Product, Engineering, and Design for a Sequoia backed travel startup in Berlin. Before that I've spent time at Klarna, Amazon, Expedia, and a successful Healthcare startup. I'm a writer, reader, speaker, and a heart-centered leader. I love to share what I know and learn from others.

Platform Product Managers are some of the most underrated PMs in the industry. I love to tell how I built a successful career by working in platforms and with backend engineers to build highly scalable solutions that improved customer's lives.

I love to talk about failure. Normalizing our ability to say we have failed is so key to really learning from failure. In this talk, I share a few of the biggest mistakes I've ever made including building a failed product at Amazon and leaving my job when I didn't want to.

In this talk I teach technical people how to use storytelling to improve any technical presentation. I use an example of a product built at Amazon and how storytelling can make the backend platform problem come to life when talking about it. I talk about the neurology of storytelling as it relates to helping audiences understand your message.
