San Francisco · Product leader & company builder

I build products, and the teams behind them.

Where healthcare, data, and human need meet.

Serial founder. 0→1 product. FDA pathfinder.

About

My best work happens before anyone’s written the playbook.

Healthcare product exec and serial founder based in San Francisco, CA. I co-founded Swing Therapeutics and led product for the thirteenth FDA-cleared digital therapeutic in the U.S., and the first cleared digital therapeutic for fibromyalgia: from concept, to seven research studies and a Lancet-published trial, to real-world results for patients.

I am able to flex from IC to defining, hiring, and managing an entire product team from scratch. I move fast, while keeping the focus on the people it’s for.

What I bring: a consultant’s systems view, a PM’s discipline, a designer’s creativity, and a founder’s drive to ship.

Work

A few things I've helped build.

Writing, talks & interests

Published

Authored digital-therapy usability research presented at the American College of Rheumatology. Led the product behind Stanza’s pivotal RCT, published in The Lancet (2024).

Thinking about

AI that makes healthcare more accessible, affordable, and more human. Earning clinician trust. Product functions that scale without losing the plot.

Also me

Designer before founder. Once traveled fourteen countries across the Americas. Curious, empathetic, and evidence-driven.
