I started out answering technical support calls while studying computer science. I moved into software development, and then quietly annoyed every engineer around me by asking "why?" about every feature request. That stubborn curiosity is what pushed me into product management, and I never really left it.

 

Over the next thirty years I grew from managing features to products to portfolios to whole organizations. I led the team that built X1, Comcast's four-time Emmy-winning video platform, and grew it from zero to eleven million subscribers in four years while lifting engagement, revenue per user, and NPS. Along the way I managed a $220M annual budget, delivered products to 33 million people internationally, took a company through an IPO, and helped sell a startup after building its flagship product. I've seen the whole arc, IPOs to wind-downs, and I've learned the most from the hard parts.

 

That Emmy was for user experience and visual design, which matters more to me now than it ever has. Alongside my coaching, I still lead a small product and UX team building an AI product, which keeps me honest about where AI genuinely helps product and UX work and where it quietly falls apart.

 

Here's what I keep coming back to: companies focus on outputs, but they survive on outcomes. I start with a strategy tied to real outcomes and let that drive the roadmap, so the team knows not just what it's building but why. I also love thinking big and then breaking inertia with something small. Momentum is a powerful tool, no matter how small it starts.

 

I'm not a retired executive coaching from memory. I'm still leading, still building, still dealing with the same pressures you are. That's the difference I bring: I'm doing the job alongside you, not describing how it used to be done. I'm also trained in Co-Active (CTI) coaching methods, so our work is built to help you grow, not just to hand you answers.

 

I've coached leaders through good times and genuinely hard ones. Winning when things are easy is easy; my strongest clients are the ones who found their footing when things were not. If that's where you are right now, I'd love to help.

 

Let's talk.
