GREATEST ACCOMPLISHMENT: Leading product and engineering teams at world-class tech companies including Uber, Amazon and Microsoft. I’ve owned the planning and execution of several high-profile product releases for Uber Central, Amazon Prime Music and MSN. I’ve been awarded a U.S. patent for an invention around streaming media content. At Uber, I’ve been able to grow my engineering team 5x while building a great team culture. Sharing my learnings is a priority, and I’m also a mentor to other technical managers through a formal mentor network as well as an adviser for two growing tech startups.

HOW DREXEL HELPED: The Drexel MBA taught me how to analyze market opportunities and create a product strategy. Alongside that, I also learned the hands-on skills to lead a team and execute against that vision efficiently.

MY HOPE FOR THE FUTURE: Intelligence and machine learning are going to make our lives more convenient and connected than we ever thought possible. As technology continues to evolve, humans will find new ways to work and interact. I plan to be an integral part of that change by taking all I’ve learned from the amazing companies I’ve worked at along with my Drexel education and apply it to an area that will have a positive impact on our world’s future.
