Hi. I'm Brian

A product leader who has built and led remote teams from around the globe, shipped roadmap-defining features, and driven transformations across SaaS, marketplaces, DTC, travel, and GenAI. I bring a rare mix of design, product, and marketing with an uncanny ability to create alignment from chaos.

Whether you’re launching something new, realigning a team, or trying to bridge strategy and execution, I can help you make faster decisions, reduce churn, and ship with clarity.

I Help

Hands On

Let’s Talk.
If your team is under water, your roadmap is a mess, or your product has grown without a plan — I can help.

Available for Contract-to-Hire and Fractional Roles

Outside of Work

When I’m not wearing my product hat, you’ll likely find me traveling the world, in the kitchen honing my amateur cooking skills, or somewhere off-grid, completely unplugged doing things like rowing rivers, casting flies, and backcountry skiing to escape the crowds.
