I build human-centered, cross-disciplinary products, experiences, and organizations that bridge breakthrough technology with commercial impact.

As a cross-functional product and business leader, I scale frontier technologies into commercially viable businesses across complex and regulated industries, including aviation, hydrogen, heavy trucking, defense and dual-use systems, modular smartphones, and advanced industrial systems. I navigate environments ranging from Fortune 50 boardrooms to Silicon Valley startups with ease.

Most recently, I was Chief Operating Officer at OXMAN, a design lab fusing design, technology, and biology to create nature-centric products and environments. I was a strategic and operational partner to the Founder/CEO, focused on bringing structure, strategy, and scale, and bridging high-concept R&D with real-world commercialization. Currently, I'm advising a few frontier-tech and defense-AI teams building transformative technology.

Before OXMAN, I was the first commercial hire at Range Energy, where I took the product from benchtop demonstrator to $3.9B in qualified commercial pipeline in 12 months and signed the anchor partnership with Thermo King. Earlier, I was co-founder and Chief Operating Officer of Universal Hydrogen, a venture-backed company accelerating aviation decarbonization, and served as founding Executive Director for United Technologies (now RTX) Advanced Projects Group, launching innovations such as hybrid-electric aircraft concepts and bio-adaptive workspaces. I've also lectured at Stanford's d.school and received multiple Fast Company innovation awards.

My expertise spans mobility, electrification, climate tech, industrial AI, defense and dual-use systems, and advanced manufacturing, with a focus on re-inventing industrial systems for positive ecological impact. I thrive at the intersection of product, commercialization, and operations, driving alignment that accelerates zero-to-one growth and market adoption.

I enjoy connecting with leaders and teams building transformative technology ventures to share insights, explore collaborations, and accelerate impact.
