About

I am a scientist turned product manager at the forefront of life sciences, healthcare, and tech. I have launched cutting-edge B2B and B2C products from bench to bedside across biology, healthtech, and sales. Most recently, I have been building software and data products for scientists across multiple organizations, including at BioMADE and Zymergen. In the past, I led product and clinical operations at a Series A mental healthtech startup developing AI and ML software using voice biomarkers and managed the life cycle of a CRM designed for high-value scientific instrument sales. I have also provided product and strategy guidance to Fortune 500 biopharma companies in oncology and other disease areas. I have a PhD in Genetics from Stanford and a BS in Biology from MIT and am an active mentor and speaker for product management, biotech, and innovation. I also consult and advise high potential startups.
