PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE
*For complete professional information and my resume, see my profile on LinkedIn!
I’m the author of Questions to Humanity, the philosophical travelogue of 1 question to 100+ people from 5 months backpacking South America. Prior to publishing the book, I led digital marketing experimentation (creative, messaging, audience targeting) on amazon.com for Echo and Alexa Smart Home as Product Marketing Manager II at Amazon Devices. This was an incredible experience. I improved onsite experiences of millions of customers, drove results through randomized control marketing experiments (A/B testing, multivariate testing, testing with machine learning), and piloted using Generative AI for text and imagery in marketing use-cases. Prior to Amazon I led product marketing for a scaling ed-tech business at Art of Problem Solving, ran a few surveys at Kantar, and grew the iOS app OpenCare into a 4+ star product (209 reviews).
Oh, and I have a thing for founders and start-ups. I obsessively listen to How I Built This with Guy Raz.
