I translate cutting-edge AI into products people understand and want. I am currently the Chief Product Officer at Microsoft leading product efforts around AI and Agents for work. My track record includes founding Google Lens (bringing computer vision to billions), evolving YouTube’s video recommendation engine, leading critical parts of Google Search, and leading product, design and marketing at Robinhood during a period of cultural and market volatility. At Microsoft, I’ve been brought in to redefine productivity AI-first -- how LLMs can change knowledge work, decision-making, and creative flow. I bring deep expertise in AI and computer science, built over years of applying machine learning to real-world problems in search, vision, and productivity. I’ve run large orgs and held C-suite roles. What energizes me most though is the zero-to-one arc -- especially when it demands original thinking, mission clarity, and high-agency execution. I thrive when working with smart builders, ambitious misfits, believers who want to launch what doesn’t exist yet.
