I help founders and product teams turn messy inputs into clear execution. Interviews become prioritized insights. Ideas become buildable specs. Work moves forward without constant follow ups.
Over the past 9 years I have led delivery and product execution for Fortune 500 companies like Vodafone Group and KFC (Yum! Brands Inc), as well as lean startup teams shipping new products with small engineering teams.
My edge is simple. I use AI inside the real workflow, not as a side experiment.
I use structured prompts to synthesize interviews, draft PRDs, run competitive research, prepare sprint plans, and generate weekly updates that teams can act on immediately. The result is faster decisions and cleaner execution.
If you need someone who can step in and run delivery across multiple client engagements without hand holding, that is exactly what I do.
HOW I WORK
I operate as an execution partner to founders and product leaders.
You focus on strategy and client relationships.
I turn direction into shipped outcomes.
Typical responsibilities I handle:
Running customer and stakeholder interviews and converting them into prioritized insights
Writing PRDs and feature specs engineers can build from without clarification loops
Preparing agendas, notes, and follow ups for weekly client calls
Managing delivery across multiple parallel projects
Tracking risks, dependencies, and delivery health
Driving execution from discovery through release
I am comfortable switching between industries quickly because the discipline is the same. Clarify the problem. Define the work. Deliver reliably.
AI NATIVE PRODUCT WORKFLOW
AI is built into my daily operating system.
Examples of how I use it:
Interview synthesis
I convert raw interview notes into structured insights, themes, and opportunity lists within minutes
PRD drafting
I generate first pass PRDs and refine them into clear implementation ready specifications
Competitive and market research
I use AI to scan competitors, summarize positioning, and extract product gaps
Delivery reporting
I generate weekly delivery updates that highlight risks, progress, and next actions
Backlog prioritization
I use scoring frameworks supported by AI analysis to rank features and clarify trade offs
AI is not a novelty in my workflow. It is how the work gets done.
RECENT PROJECT EXAMPLES
Delivery Automation Product
Designed a product feature that automated delivery reporting and reduced manual status updates for leadership teams
Built the workflow from problem definition through MVP delivery and measurement
Startup Operations System Rebuild
Reorganized a distributed development team’s workflow and centralized execution into a single delivery system
Reduced communication noise and improved delivery predictability
Client Delivery Leadership
Managed multiple concurrent projects across engineering and design teams
Delivered consistent progress while maintaining clear communication with stakeholders
