Product Manager  ·  Cambridge, MA  ·  EU + US Citizen

I build products around the problem the user is actually trying to solve, not the one that is easy to measure.

Almost twenty years across data, operations, and consumer product, about four of them running product end to end. I am bringing that work to problems that matter: civic tech, climate, public transit, and democracy.

What I believe

I want to be a product manager, not a revenue manager. Solve a real problem, deliver real value, and the business follows.

I want to put my decades of experience toward work with real social impact, and be proud of how I contribute. The problems that interest me are the ones that affect people's lives, even when they cannot see it.

Selected Work

Two or three deep write-ups. Each one is a problem I found, the call I made, and what it did.

Consumer travel · Pricing
Case 01

[ Best-Value Hotels ]

Users kept rejecting every hotel in testing as too expensive, even when affordable options were right there. I built a curated best-value section and a per-destination pricing model to surface them.

Case 02

[ The Click-Out Paradox ]

More click-outs looked like a win. It was actually a loss. I caught a failing redesign in an A/B test before launch, then measured the true outcome instead of the proxy everyone was watching.

Case 03

[ The "Hotel Website" Relabel ]

A confusing CTA icon was quietly costing direct bookings. I renamed it to say plainly what it did. Small wording choices carry real weight.

Things I've Built

Small tools and prototypes I have shipped, mostly to prove an idea fast.

Gemini Canvas

[ Saved Hotels Prototype ]

Interactive HTML mockup that secured design resources without a design team.

Claude / Cowork

[ Cowork OS ]

A personal operating system for my product work and job search.

Python

[ Meeting Transcriber ]

Local tool that records and transcribes meetings on device.

Let's talk.

If you are working on something that matters and need a product person who starts with the user, I would like to hear about it.
