  2. Fractional Head of Product

Supporting founders and teams on all things Product

I (Twitter, Linkedin) was most recently the founder of Clubs Poker, where I raised over $500K from Village Global, and scaled our playerbase to 7,000 monthly actives.


Prior, I was a PM for 10 years with a focus on early stage products. I've launched 9 new products in my career, and have helped scale a handful more. Industries include real estate, consumer, gaming, insurance, and ad-tech . And yes, I was a poker player before my career in tech.

Now I'm a fractional Head of Product…
