Work, by theme

Fifteen years across Salesforce, Royal Caribbean and Disney — arranged by what the work actually was, rather than which building I sat in.

01

Finding the 0 → 1 inside a very large company

Product strategy for AI-native event experiences: Agentforce across the entire Dreamforce and World Tour attendee journey, and the global PM team built to hold it together.

02

AI as leverage, not decoration

Localization scaled on generative AI and machine translation — then the ops function, tooling and process around it, so the speed was repeatable rather than a demo.

03

Platforms other people build on

The tooling behind salesforce.com — CMS, site search, chatbots. Before that a commerce replatform: a dozen scrum teams, 20+ PMs, 200+ engineers, and the APIs that opened new channels.

04

Where software meets the physical world

FastPass+ rebuilt at Walt Disney World. PhotoPass moved from desktop to a mobile business. Facial recognition in cruise terminals, so people got on vacation faster.

Making the picture

A travel and lifestyle stock company represented by Getty: twenty-plus countries, several Lonely Planet covers, an unreasonable amount of time in airports. Now a Leica M11 and the blue hour.
