I excel in building high-performing teams and managing complex, cross-functional technology programs. I have a strong proficiency in product management, program management, & development process and commensurate passion for collaboration and communication. My experience spans diverse technical and business environments. During my years at Pixar, my teams led the development of software applications and pipelines used to complete 6 Academy Award-nominated feature films. At Amazon, I designed and managed an agile software process used to build the first Fire TV, a ground-breaking consumer electronics product. And now at Box, my teams are responsible for a diverse portfolio of initiatives which provides Box a competitive edge in the Enterprise SaaS/cloud space. I've always thrived in environments where transparency, trust, emotional intelligence, and integrity are deeply valued. My focus is always the team, and I have led both small and very large groups with that sense of purpose, believing all good things follow from building strong relationships.
