Principal Product Manager specializing in AI and document intelligence

New York, NY12y exp

“Enterprise product leader with significant experience turning AI experiments into scalable, workflow-native capabilities at Datasite, especially in high-stakes M&A environments. Stands out for combining strong AI product strategy with nuanced UX judgment, emphasizing trust, transparency, and human-in-the-loop design over flashy automation.”

“Product engineer/designer with founder mindset who shipped a blockchain-enabled investor group/governance platform using Next.js (App Router), TypeScript, Prisma/Postgres, and Temporal. Emphasizes auth-centric onboarding (SSO + embedded wallet) to make dApp UX feel more like SaaS, and brings strong reliability practices (idempotent retries, reconciliation) plus experience demoing to investors and operating in seed-stage teams (ex-Vouched).”

“Product leader focused on transforming legacy white-label personal cloud platforms into AI-native consumer experiences at global telecom scale. They led the launch of ML-powered features across brands like AT&T, Verizon, and SoftBank, drove ~25% MAU growth, and paired strong UX judgment with deep technical fluency in AI infrastructure, rollout governance, and cost optimization.”

“Founding Product Manager and first hire at a seed-stage startup who joined before a product existed and built the product function and engineering operating cadence from scratch. Owns end-to-end product development while also covering GTM, strategy, funding-related work, customer deployments, and direct engineering management—showing unusually broad startup operating range.”

“Sourcing/Product Development professional with deep China-based manufacturing experience who launched an eco-friendly cleaning brush line made from 100% recycled fishing nets and delivered on an Earth Day deadline. Built cost and tariff calculators to drive decisions and profitability, including improving Target private label net margins by 6 points, and runs a compliance/QC-heavy vendor qualification process (BSCI/SMETA, golden samples, third-party inspections).”
