Resume
Product management, program delivery, AI automation and product operations.
Summary
I define products, run their delivery, and decide where automation belongs. In practice that means requirements and roadmaps, prioritization, testing and release management, coordinating developers and contractors, and the reporting that shows whether the result is working.

Elite Modern Marketing
Founder — Product, Program Delivery and Operations · New York, NY · April 2015 — present
- Led the business from startup through sustained growth — P&L, client acquisition, strategic planning and cross-functional team leadership — supporting more than 50 active client accounts at a time.
- Built the AI platform behind the agency's own operations: inquiry intake and qualification, content and creative production, and client reporting, with a person accountable for every client commitment. Self-reported results: 70% fewer manual workflows, 40% faster project turnaround, 45% lower creative production cost, and a first qualified response to an inquiry in under two minutes.
- Own the sending platform and its purpose-built delivery engine from product vision through production operations: requirements and PRDs, roadmap, architecture decisions, test planning, UAT, defect management and release planning.
- Defined the AI-assisted development workflow and the agent permission controls that make that scope manageable — curated requirement packs, model selection by task type, automated pre-commit checks, a permission list that denies anything not explicitly allowed, and human approval on every production change. Self-reported: 50% faster from written requirement to tested production release.
- Recruited and managed distributed contractor teams across operations, design and development — defining scopes, timelines and budgets, and running delivery on Jira with Agile methods, bug triage and feature intake.
Enterprise financial-services delivery history is summarized on the experience page.
