Co-Founder, Chief Product Officer

Jun 2015 - Current (11 years 1 month)

CustomMade makes custom engagement rings. Instead of browsing a catalog, customers come to us with an idea (usually what their partner loves)...or even just the desire to make a ring that feels unique and special. Our team designs a ring just for them, sources the stone, and works with them to refine it until it’s exactly right. No SKUs, no shopping cart, it's closer to working with a jeweler than shopping online. I run product strategy and customer experience: the customer journey, and the design of the system and operational mechanics behind the scenes that makes the whole thing work. I was part of the small team that acquired the assets of the original CustomMade marketplace and began building the current company starting in 20

Senior Product Manager

CustomMade Ventures Corp

Feb 2014 - May 2015 (1 year 4 months)

***NOTE: CustomMade's original team was acquired by Wayfair (NYSE: W) in May 2015. I joined 4 other team members in repurchasing some of the company's assets and founding a new company under the same brand name, albeit with a completely different business strategy.

Think Etsy, but with an emphasis on custom and higher tick

PerkStreet Financial

Jun 2012 - Aug 2013 (1 year 3 months)

PerkStreet was a financial services startup centered around building a better platform for personal banking. It raised over $15m from Highland Capital Partners and Globespan Partners. My time at PerkStreet saw the release of an all-new rewards platform focused on merchant-based offers and savings recommendations generated upon customer spending patterns. Additionally, my time with the company covered the release of our first mobile banking application, in addition to the design and development of a second rewards and mobile payments application. Due to various sudden changes in banking regulations that made sustaining business operations financially impossible, PerkStreet's accounts and product assets were sold, and the company shut its d

AisleBuyer acquired by Intuit April

Sep 2010 - Apr 2012 (1 year 8 months)

AisleBuyer was a mobile commerce platform that enabled brick and mortar stores to utilize the same data-driven digital marketing advantages of ecommerce retailers, while also enabling customers to discover product information on their phones while shopping in stores, in addition to using their phone as a cash register to check out right in the aisle. I joined AisleBuyer very early on as the 7th full-time employee with no real particular job description, and sort of developed myself into a wide-spanning role that keyed on product and product marketing initiatives on both our white-label mobile commerce platform and our branded plug-n-play mobile point-of-sale system for small businesses, but really encompassed every area of the business bey
