MY EXPERIENCE

2022 - Present

DIRECTOR OF PRODUCT MANAGEMENT, SaaS PLATFORMS
Wiland

I currently lead product strategy for a portfolio of four SaaS applications, including PersonaBuilder — Wiland’s self-serve AI platform for building and activating custom audience segments. While I joined after the product’s acquisition, I now own its roadmap and evolution. My focus has been modernizing user experience, increasing adoption, and repositioning the platform for long-term growth and cross-product integration.

  • PersonaBuilder: Responsible for guiding strategic product updates that drive more value from Wiland’s rich data assets — including segment creation, reporting enhancements, and platform interoperability.

  • Led the design and implementation of Market Spend, a new product capability that introduces recent transactional data as a lever for segmentation, now used across persona design, comparison, and audience-building workflows.

  • Developed a clear 3-year product vision focused on activation, revenue acceleration, and usability improvements — aligning engineering, sales, and client success behind meaningful delivery priorities.

  • Partnered with cross-functional teams to define strategic levers that encourage users to move from insight to action, including clearer CTAs, integrated workflows, and a simplified campaign deployment process.

  • Regularly lead roadmap planning, stakeholder alignment, and internal enablement across go-to-market teams — helping reintroduce a strong product mindset into a historically service-driven org.

  • Earned Pragmatic Institute’s Product Management certification to sharpen go-to-market planning, prioritization frameworks, and data-driven decision-making.

I live in a small town in the Blue Ridge Mountains and enjoy an active lifestyle filled with hiking, cooking, and tackling home projects.

When I’m not in the gym or exploring the trails, I can often be found curled up with a good book.
