Prior to founding Voicekick, I was a product and design executive at a number of technology and internet companies in Silicon Valley; including Brilliant Forge (my product strategy and design consultancy), Apple Computer, Yahoo, eBay, and IBM. At Yahoo, I was the Vice President of Consumer Products for Yahoo! Search, leading a wonderful team of product managers, designers, and developers who were focused on creating world-class Search experiences. Before that, I was a Director at eBay, where I led another great team focused on multiple products for Tailored Shopping Experiences, Platform, and International sites. Earlier in my career, I was a designer at Apple Computer, where I worked on the Finder, OS, and International software; and IBM, where I worked on database and development tools. I was also the principal consultant for MindSpan Design, an interaction design agency where I worked on desktop, web, and mobile solutions for a variety of startups. I received my Ph.D. from Rice University, where I designed and developed a coaching system for training software users. I hold a number of patents, which include design work on web-based products and hardware solutions.
