MY BIO

I’m a senior level Program Manager based in San Francisco, CA. With over 15 years of experience, I specialize in leading diverse, cross-functional teams to deliver world-class products. Most recently I was a Principal Engineering Program Manager at Adobe, where I successfully led and supported a large cross-functional team in delivering Adobe Fresco, an award-winning drawing and painting app, from concept to launch. My expertise lies in zero-to-one product launches, complex stakeholder management, cross-functional alignment, process improvement, and Agile best practices. Past project areas include Mobile App Development, Design Ops, Web Content Platform, APIs/Extensibility, and an Enterprise Customer Success Platform.
