10+ years building SaaS products at start-ups and scale-ups with a strong software development and product management background. Worked on product development for large corporations such as HubSpot, the World Bank, Kimberly-Clark, RockTenn, Focus Brands, Jet Airways, Air Canada, and Qantas.
I am passionate about user-centered design and human-computer interaction. I am most at home when working with various cultures, personalities, and approaches, and I enjoy serving as an intermediary and synthesizer between different considerations. I am a realist who makes decisions based on evidence, both quantitative and qualitative. However, I also feel there is a need to acknowledge the complexity of the human experience.
On a personal level, I am a cultural chameleon, having been raised at an international school in the Philippines. I once drove a derelict car from England to Mongolia, camping and producing a video series about the experience (take a look at the Mongol Rally).
I spent this past 2 years consulting on AI startups, learning Spanish, and starting a family!
