Product Leader in media tech. Building and growing B2C Subscription. Building Experimentation Programs.
Product Management Leader with extensive experience building and launching direct to consumer subscription products. Most of my experience has been in the media space on audio / video products. I've worked as a product leader at AMC Networks, TuneIn, NBCUniversal, Sony Music. I'm very passionate about understanding users and building out experimentation programs. I enjoy building and launching new businesses, and helping product teams grow their products.
I've built and launching products quickly on my own leveraging open source tech to quickly identify if my solution will solve a user problem. I did this via my own startup Netwrk, but have experience doing this for small projects at all the companies I've worked at.
Working at TuneIn, AMC Networks and at Meredith I built and grew the product management teams. At Meredith the team grew to 18 product management team members, 3 directors. At AMC Networks the team grew to 8 product management team members. I enjoy helping product team members learn and grow their careers.
I have extensive hands on product management experience, working closely with engineering teams at Sony Music, NBC Universal, TuneIn, AMC Networks and Dotdash Meredith.
I've used Amplitude on and off since 2017 at a number of companies. I've worked on implementing the SDK's across platforms and then leveraging dashboards/queries to gain valuable insights about the products.
I've used google analytics for web analytics, web experimentation and for advertising acquisition reporting. I've build custom reports and helped leverage the reporting notifications.
JIRA has been a core tool I've used at every product management job. It allows me to keep organized sprint to sprint when working in agile. It allows for collaboration across the team.
I used Optimizely at AMC Networks to build out and run an experimentation program with the team. We were focused on growing video engagement across the video products. I was hands on in both implementation and usage.
I've used Segment as a CDP previously as well as mParticle. Both are very helpful in leveraging the same analytics implementation to pass reporting downstream to all the different destinations / toolsets.
