I'm a recovering-attorney turned product manager who loves keeping up with the latest digital trends. I'm driven by creating products that people love to use, or products that solve their problems, but ideally both. I am comfortable working through the whole spectrum of the software product lifecycle, from ideation, strategy, development, launch, measurement, and iteration.

Currently I lead a team of talented product managers, technical program managers, and user experience designers at Amazon responsible for driving the third party ecosystem for Appstore on our next generation devices. My charter also includes identifying new opportunities to personalize the device experience and improving the way customers discover apps and games.

In my free time, I enjoy traveling to new places, fine dining on a budget, cooking a new dish, a nice bottle of red wine, following Cleveland sports teams, playing basketball, the Roman empire and civilization, classic Italian art, debating anything from philosophy to politics, pit bulls and other bully dog breeds, and animal rescue.
