Career

I’m passionate about solving hard problems and leading teams.

I’ve focused my career building "0 to 2" experiences: incubating ideas, achieving product-market fit, and then driving early growth.

Today, I lead product teams building the metaverse, a vision for shared social presence in virtual reality.

Previously, I worked across the Facebook App and Ads teams to ship products that create value for people and businesses. At Lyft, I developed a loyalty program to reward drivers and improve their economic outcomes. I'm proud to have invented 6x patented or patent-pending technologies and designs.

Across my experiences, I've founded and scaled new teams and products. I’m energized by empowering others to do their best work. I love amplifying diverse perspectives across a product team, and bridging rigorous data analysis with sound product principles.

Personal

• My wife, our daughter, and I live happily in Silicon Valley, where I grew up.

• I love endurance challenges and am happiest on a long run. I’ve maintained a streak running at least one half marathon per month since January 2018.

• Cooking, especially for others, is my creative outlet. Tell me your favorite flavors or foods, and I’ll whip something together.

• Graduated from Northwestern University with a degree in Economics. Love the #B1GCats but not the frigid temperatures.

• In adolescence, I made short films screened at student festivals around the world. If I didn’t work in technology, I would move to Hollywood to pursue a career directing.
