About
An enterprise foundation. A broader product practice.
The through-line
My career began in finance and operations, working with the records and processes businesses rely on. At Tiffany & Co., that developed into business systems and global store operations work, followed by a formal Product Manager role in Global Procurement in May 2021. I managed three direct reports and held product responsibility for procurement technology supporting approximately $1B in annual spend and 2,000+ users.
At Obsess, from May 2022 to January 2024, I brought that systems experience into customer-facing commerce. I translated buyer research into shopping requirements, defined commerce integration behavior, and led analytics product work through testing, initial rollout, and handoff.
Through House of Brilliance, my independent consulting company, I now combine product consulting with hands-on, AI-assisted development. For Atmos Rewards, I designed and built the mobile platform for guest passes, check-in, tiered access, and staff operations, and supported its use across five World Cup watch parties in Seattle. Creative, production, and venue work belonged to the wider team.
I connect the customer experience to the business rules, systems, and teams that make it work—and stay involved through rollout and real use.

Leadership and working style
- Make the product decision
- At Obsess, I kept old and new analytics separate when the measures were not statistically equivalent. A clearer dashboard would not have fixed a misleading comparison.
- Develop the team
- At Tiffany, I managed three formal reports and conducted performance reviews. I coached problem solving, technical confidence, and presentations, and recommended a Senior Analyst promotion that was approved by leadership above me.
- Stay through adoption
- My work has included global training and documentation at Tiffany, initial internal and client rollouts for Obsess analytics, and hands-on support during the Atmos activation.
- Leave a usable handoff
- At Tiffany, I recorded sessions and transferred relationship and technical context when leaving. At Obsess, I handed subsequent analytics rollouts to the data team after the first internal and client deployments.
