Profile introduction
Source excerptLinkedIn [2]

As an operator and former investor, I’ve spent my career helping companies evolve from idea to product to scaled, global businesses. At Tastewise, I serve as COO & Chief Product Officer, leading product strategy and execution at the core, alongside global operations and finance. I’ve led the company through the shift to a Generative-AI and then Agentic-AI product and operating model, accelerating product and R&D velocity, unlocking new growth engines, and enabling fast, efficient scale. I focus on building organizations that move as one, across product, R&D, go-to-market, and operations.
