I help technical products
find their voice.

I've spent 20+ years at the intersection of technology and storytelling. I started my career deep in infrastructure, cloud, and open source, working with teams at Canonical, Red Hat, Microsoft, and SUSE.

Then Web3 happened, and I jumped in. Since 2022 I've been leading product marketing at some of the most recognised protocols in the space: Chainlink, Polkadot, Polygon, and now Algorand Foundation.

Whether it's positioning a cloud management product for enterprise IT or helping developers understand why they should build on a new blockchain, I love making complex things click.

Web3

Fractional Product Marketer

Independent
2021 - Present

I work with early-stage and growth-stage companies that need senior product marketing thinking without a full-time hire. That means helping them figure out who they're talking to, what they're really saying, and how to say it in a way that lands. Positioning, messaging, launch strategy, sales narratives, the kind of work that shapes how a product is perceived from the outside.
