Welcome!

I'm a mission-driven Software Product Manager with experience in:

► Business Analysis

► Data Analysis

► Discovery / User Research

► Servant Leadership

I believe in building positive teams - teams that Empower, Engage, and Energize.

I bring value to your team in at least 3 different ways:

First, I'm drawn to building extraordinary products and solving problems that inspire me and keeps me up at night. And to experiencing culture shock - the kind that you get when you travel the furthest from where you are and from what you are used to.

It's what happens when you:

► Move from the West Coast to the East Coast of Canada

► Attend Burning Man

► Decide to live in Nunavut for 2 years

► Move 12,000km to the most exotic, culturally diverse country in the world - India.

Different stakeholders can value other stakeholders in different ways that are incompatible. Diversity of values allows us to build a sense of community and gain new knowledge through iteration and reflective analysis.

► How can we look at stakeholders in a way where we see value?

► How do we surface values that people didn't see before?

► How do we be disruptive but not destructive?

Second, I apply Design Thinking to all my products. Diversity of ideas and values are not what divides us - it is what gives us strength.

It’s always important to see:

- the values that exist

- the values that are in conflict with each another

- the values hidden from view

Third, I bring a broad set of leadership experiences that enable me to understand the diversity of stakeholders in a complex adaptive system which helps me to understand deeply the other player's perspectives, goals, and objectives.

“I bring everything that I've learned to everything that I pursue”

Understanding how each player fits together in a larger, networked system enables us to leverage each party so that the whole is greater than the sum of its parts.
