About
I help product leaders and teams build with AI, not just talk about it. I've spent 20+ years in B2B SaaS product, most recently as SVP of Product at Skillable, where I led a 75-person org, drove 110% NRR, and brought generative AI into our product development lifecycle. Before that I led product at Pluralsight (through its $2B acquisition), Canopy (tripled ARR two years running, scaled from 2 to 9 teams), and Instructure. Today I build AI products myself. I created ProductOS, a 14-agent AI-native product development framework now used by 500+ people, and toolaudit.ai, an AI tools comparison platform built on Next.js and Supabase. Working with me is hands-on. We'll pick a real problem from your roadmap or workflow and build it together: agent workflows, AI-assisted PRDs and discovery, prototyping with Claude Code, or a plan for putting AI into your team's PDLC. You'll leave with something working, not a slide deck.

Why do I coach?
The best part of every leadership role I've had was watching PMs grow into people who could own hard problems on their own. Scaling teams at Canopy and Skillable taught me that most of that growth happens through doing the work next to someone, not from frameworks. AI has reset the playing field. Experienced PMs are now relearning how products get built, and a lot of the advice out there comes from people who haven't shipped anything with it. I've spent the last two years building real AI products and systems, making mistakes, and turning what works into repeatable methods. Coaching lets me shorten that curve for others.
