    Product Marketing & Growth Lead, DTC
    Eli Health
    Oct 2024 - Current (2 years 1 month)
    DTC e-commerce, product marketing and growth for a hormone-testing health brand. Pricing, conversion, lifecycle, retention, and everything that gets tested before it ships. - Own the e-commerce and subscription strategy end-to-end: pricing, PDP, checkout, retention flows. A lot of my job starts with questioning whether the obvious explanation for a metric is actually the right one. - Built an AI-friendly experimentation framework: open enough that anyone in the company can consult it, propose a test, or challenge a hypothesis. My role is less about gatekeeping ideas and more about bringing objectivity to which ones make it to production. - CES Best of Innovation Award winner (Digital Health, 2025) with Eli Health, ahead of much larger playe

    Head Of Product Marketing & Content
    Withings
    Apr 2022 - May 2024 (2 years 2 months)
    Led product marketing and content across Withings' full consumer portfolio and the launch of a new product category. Team of 6. - Led U-Scan from market discovery to a category-defining CES 2023 launch: 13 Best of CES Awards, 3,206 pieces of coverage, #3 most-mentioned company on day one, and an opening segment on Jimmy Kimmel Live for a French company, which no one saw coming, including us. - Owned product marketing across the broader portfolio in parallel: three new smart scales, upgraded Scanwatch models, and the ongoing category strategy for Withings' consumer line. - Shaped the recurring revenue model for the category, including Withings' first razor/blade pricing structure. Turned out you can advocate for a subscription model in a har
  • Withings
    Head of Consumer Services
    Withings
    May 2021 - Apr 2022 (1 year)
    Launched Withings+, a new B2C health subscription service, from strategy to market fit. Still live and growing three years later. - Defined the product vision, UX and pricing for Withings+ before the technical build began, taking a market-back approach in a team that was strong on engineering but light on product strategy. Set the anti-paywall positioning principle that still guides the product today: raw sensor data stays free, insights are paid for. - Sat on the M&A due diligence team for a strategic acquisition, an unusual seat for a marketer to occupy. Did what I do best in that context: looked past the headline numbers, spotted what the pitch was hiding, and helped requalify the acquisition thesis before the price was set. - Hired and

    Mar 2018 - May 2021 (3 years 3 months)
    Led product marketing, brand, content and creative for Withings' full consumer portfolio. Also built the company's entire B2B positioning from scratch, before B2B was officially anyone's job. - Pioneered Withings' B2B function single-handedly: named the category (Withings Med Pro), built the brand architecture, mapped three market segments (US insurers, EU research hospitals, employer wellness), and shipped a full sales enablement stack including battle cards, use cases, and a dedicated sub-site. That function now employs ~50 people across the US and Europe. I was one person with a strong hunch. - Translated technical API and SDK capabilities into messaging non-technical B2B decision-makers could actually act on. Turned out to be a rarer sk
  • Withings

    Nov 2016 - Mar 2018 (1 year 5 months)
    Built Withings' product marketing function from the ground up. Also lived through a full brand identity crisis in my first quarter, which was a memorable way to start a job. - Joined on a Monday. Learned on Wednesday that the entire company was rebranding to Nokia for CES 2017. Rebuilt all packaging, launch visuals, and a distributor reassurance deck in 2 months, on time for the show. The predicted + double digit sales lift never materialized, which taught me a lot about consumer research done in a vacuum. - After Withings was bought back in 2018, co-led the reverse rebrand and used it as an opportunity to reposition the company as a unified clinical-premium brand (inspired by La Roche-Posay), resolving three previously disconnected product

    Product Manager | Beauty & Retail
    Mar 2013 - Nov 2016 (3 years 9 months)
    Built exclusive beauty and cosmetics brands for major international retailers, from strategy to shelf. Functionally a Product Marketing role, in an industry that just happens to call it something else. - Grew a brand portfolio 350% (€1.5M to €5M) across accounts including Mauboussin, Zara, Pull&Bear, and OVS. Same instinct I use today: figure out what the market actually wants, then build the product and the story around it. - Built a cosmetics and skincare brand from scratch for a new retail entrant (OVS/Shakka), including in-store merchandising strategy. The kind of brief where "start with a blank page" is meant literally. - Ran brand extensions and quarterly collection cadences (Primark Home) in parallel, learning early that trend-spotti
