FUN FACTS ABOUT ME

• Read about my previous roles, recent consulting work, as well as some complex and interesting projects I’ve tackled.

• Currently I’m leading product development and project management at [C]Worthy, a Boulder-based nonprofit funded in part by the U.S. Department of Energy / ARPA-E which focuses on developing open-source software modeling solutions to support marine carbon dioxide removal.

• I’ve got over six years’ product development experience as both a Product Manager and Technical Project Manager in renewable energy, decarbonization, data privacy, nonprofits, streaming media, and more, where I’ve built consensus while leading software development across multiple teams, helping hone product-market fit and general product strategy/go-to-market strategy in order to position teams, companies, and their products for success.

• I’ve already successfully taken a brand new B2B SaaS platform from ideation to enterprise (Fortune 500) onboarding.

• In 2024 I will complete a graduate certificate in Global Energy Management from the J.P. Morgan Center for Commodities and Energy Management at the University of Colorado Denver School of Business.

• I have experience managing compliance with and delivery of projects funded by the U.S. Department of Energy / ARPA-E.

• I have experience in both general and technical project management.

• I hold the Professional Scrum Master (PSM I) and Professional Scrum Product Owner (PSPO I) certifications from Scrum.org,

• I’m multilingual (fluent in English and German, strong Spanish, as well as a smattering of others).

• I’m based in the Denver/Boulder area and have previously worked with hybrid, remote, and on-site teams.

WHAT I HAVE TO OFFER

I have experience in leading complex software product development in a variety of industries and verticals as both a Product Manager and Technical Project Manager, and also offer services as a product consultant and career change coach (especially for those moving from the arts/humanities/nonprofit worlds into tech particularly and the private sector more generally).

• What do I look for in roles, projects, and teams?

  • Interesting and challenging work, talented and kind colleagues, and teams with fairly high emotional intelligence.

  • Outcomes over output, and forever refining a shared definition of “done.” Product methodologies, philosophies, or tips and tricks mean absolutely zip to me unless we are successfully delivering software.

  • Creating positive team cultures where people have room to love what they do; keeping drama out of the building and onstage/on TV where it belongs.

• What industries do I love?

  • Renewable energy and decarbonization are at the top of my list; along with sustainability in general, they align most closely with my passions and my values, and I love how insanely complex the challenges there can be.

  • But also PMs (in either sense) are generalists by trade (I mean, just look at my work history), so if you wanna build widgets, let’s talk about the widgets you build.
