I came to product through the work itself.

I have usually been drawn to the place where the system looks settled from a distance and feels fragmented up close.

I started in structured finance, working inside the relationships, documents, deadlines, and judgment that hold complex markets together. Before I was writing roadmaps, I was watching where the work broke down and what people needed before they would trust a different way of doing it.

That is how I came to product. I built ACP iLink from inside the market it served, starting with workflow maps and paper wireframes and staying through production and years of use. Since then, I have worked on institutional data, early-stage product direction, and AI products that needed more context and clearer choices.

I am comfortable moving from the high-level question to the thing someone can click. I like making an early version, putting it in front of people, and using their reaction to expose what the team has missed.

I have also led the people and operating systems around the product. At Swiss Re, I managed five business managers and helped four move into product or product operations roles. In a later full-time CPO and interim COO role, I managed a senior PM and hired and oversaw design and junior product talent while working closely with Engineering.

Photography has always come from a similar instinct. Look closely. Keep the context. Notice what the cleaner frame might leave out.
