When tools can build anything, what would you choose to build?

I'm Director of Product Management at Audible, working on conversational discovery and personalization. Before this I have built pro-code and no-code AI platforms at Microsoft as well as vertical industry AI stacks. I host the Boston OpenClaw community meetup and hackathon, and I write about AI and share my learning.

About

A page about a person.

I've been a product manager for twenty years — long enough to have shipped on Symbian phones, OpenAI APIs, and most things in between. The thread through all of it is the same: AI products that actually meet people where they are.

Today I lead conversational discovery at Audible, helping listeners find their next book through natural, multi-turn conversation. Before this I spent a decade at Microsoft — most recently as Principal PM on Copilot Studio, where I launched Prompt Builder (300K monthly makers, 150M predictions a month, featured in Satya's Build '25 keynote).
