I help Bay Area startups build the right AI product, ship it faster, and avoid the mistakes I've seen sink teams at Google, Meta, and dozens of startups. Fractional CPO-level thinking without the full-time hire.
You have strong engineers and a promising model. But product-market fit isn't an engineering problem — it's a product problem.
Your AI is impressive in a demo, but you can't articulate why a customer should pay for it. You're shipping capabilities, not outcomes.
Every sprint feels productive but you haven't validated willingness to pay. Six months in, your model is great — your PMF story isn't.
Your founding team is technical. You need someone who's shipped AI products at Google-scale to pressure-test your roadmap, positioning, and GTM.
I've been the GPM at Google and Meta responsible for AI products used by hundreds of millions. I've also built AI products from zero. I bring that pattern recognition to your startup — without the $400K+ CPO salary.
This isn't slide-deck consulting. I sit in your sprint planning, review your PRDs, talk to your customers, and tell you the hard truths about your roadmap.
What to build, what to kill, and in what order — informed by what actually works at scale.
Validating that your AI capability maps to real willingness to pay — before you burn more runway.
AI quality, monitoring, trust & safety — the operational rigor that separates demos from products.
I've shipped AI at the largest scale and know exactly where startups go wrong.
Group Product Manager leading AI-powered product lines used by hundreds of millions. Deep experience with LLMs, recommendation systems, trust & safety, and the product decisions that determine whether AI capabilities become real products.
Built a 4-step AI monitoring framework that reduced chatbot overpromises from 15% to under 2%. I know how to take AI from "works in a demo" to "works in production at scale."
Pre-seed figuring out what to build, or Series A trying to scale — here's where I make the biggest impact.
Roadmap reviews, prioritization, competitive positioning — the senior product thinking your team needs but doesn't have bandwidth for.
