With over nine years of experience at consumer marketplaces such as Lyft, Booking.com, and KAYAK, I specialize in product management with a focus on growth and AI. In my recent roles, I led cross-functional teams to build 0-1 consumer and enterprise-facing AI/ML experiences. Earlier in my career, I was responsible for user growth and conversion for a $x00m+ vertical and orchestrated large-scale international product expansion.

I enjoy bringing clarity to ambiguous problems and unifying stakeholders under a clear vision. Let's connect if you're seeking a strategic, scrappy, and full-stack Product Manager who thrives on building and scaling next-generation products.

I’m incredibly grateful to Coach Ariel for the thoughtful guidance and sharp insights during my product sense interview prep. Ariel has a rare talent for breaking down complex product frameworks into actionable strategies and always pushed me to think more deeply about tradeoffs, segmentation, and user impact. Their feedback was clear, constructive, and empowering—the session left me more confident and prepared. I truly appreciated how invested Ariel was in my success. Couldn’t have asked for a better coach—thank you!
