Bio

Founder & CEO of Kraftful (acquired by Amplitude) Before starting Kraftful, I led product at a range of tech companies, from being PM #2 at a fast-growing unicorn to heading product teams building products used by millions. That experience inspired me to start Kraftful, to help product teams ship products people love.
