About

A great product is not the same as a successful business. Customers need to adopt it, stay with it, and spread the word. Growth happens when you remove friction points in positioning, retention, and execution. I help healthtech, wellness, and consumer brands bring ambitious products to life and scale them with clarity and precision. As a fractional VP of Product, I work with founders and executive teams to align strategy, rebuild velocity, and launch initiatives that drive real growth. Who I Work With Founders frustrated by flat growth and misaligned teams Product orgs struggling to retain users despite strong early signals Companies entering new markets and needing focused strategy Health and wellness brands looking to differentiate in crowded spaces Leadership teams that need senior product thinking without a full-time hire What I Focus On Growth and Go to Market Strategy that reflects what users actually want Retention and Onboarding systems that fix funnel leaks and increase LTV Positioning and Messaging that resonates and converts Product Execution that connects team workflows to business outcomes What I’ve Done Increased revenue by 297% while raising NPS to 72 Grew adoption by 40% by refining product market fit Boosted retention by 22% through onboarding and user education Improved team engagement by 21% while leading remote product teams I have worked across biotech, digital health, consumer wellness, and direct to consumer brands in nutrition, mental health, and personal care.
