Founder, RETHINK

I’m the founder of RETHINK, a global leadership platform where we help creative minds become strategic, high-impact leaders. Over the past 7+ years, I’ve built a profitable, 7-figure business from the ground up, serving a global community of 15,000+ senior product designers, managers, and directors at companies like Google, Spotify, Square, and Meta. I specialize in helping design leaders scale themselves and their teams through product strategy, AI readiness, and leadership development.

Before RETHINK, I spent over 18 years operating at the intersection of product, design, and business strategy. I’ve led cross-functional product design in fast-paced startups, launched learning platforms and growth experiments, and scaled communities from zero to thousands — always with a bias toward action and iteration. I’ve partnered closely with product and design executives at tech companies to launch high-impact learning experiences and GTM programs, often embedding myself as a strategic thought partner.

I’ve also embraced AI in my own workflows — from coaching copilots to content generation to automated research — and I’m currently exploring how lightweight agents can help founders and small teams move faster and smarter at the 0→1 stage.
