I am a Partner Director of Product Management on the Supply Chain Engineering team at Microsoft. My team powers Microsoft's Cloud and Device Supply Chains, which bring hardware devices and cloud services to Microsoft's consumer and commercial customers. I started as a developer and moved into a PM role while pursuing my MBA at the University of Washington. As a PM, I started on developer products (.NET Developer Platform), and then focused on communication, collaboration and productivity solutions for Information Workers. A few of the products where I've left a mark are Lync/Skype for Business, Microsoft Teams, OneDrive, and SharePoint. I am passionate about growing the representation of women in technology, and have been involved in driving initiatives within Microsoft and also externally with organizations such as Women in Product, IGNITE (Inspire Girls Now In Technology Education), and UW Product Management Center (Founding Advisory Board Member). On the personal front, I am married, a mother of two young and energetic kids, and love the outdoors. I am also a certified coach.
