AI As a Force for Creativity & Connection.

I build human-centered, contextually aware AI products — not just as a technological breakthrough, but as a force for creativity and connection.

I'm an AI-forward product leader and operator who has scaled traditional businesses into AI-first growth engines and built 0-to-1 products with operational rigor and bold thinking. I've led product orgs at Meta and Shutterfly, advised at McKinsey & Co. and Monitor Deloitte, and now advise CPOs and VCs as an angel/advisor. As an immigrant, and a mom, I bring empathy, global perspective and real-life complexity to how I design & lead.

My mission is to build AI-first solutions that truly understand individuals and their unique context — helping them achieve their goals at work or home, freeing up time for what truly matters: family, community, and purpose.
