I turn AI into products people actually use.
I'm Director of Product Management at Guidepoint, where I lead AI product development for the expert network industry and help teams across the company put AI to work.
Before that I led the AI Innovation Squad at Scotiabank, where I built a customer support chatbot, then led the overhaul of scotiabank.com search into an answer with sources. Earlier I spent eight years at Wysdom.ai, starting as Director of Solutions Engineering and finishing as VP of Product and Analytics.
Outside work I write, build side projects and help fellow product managers grow. I live in the Toronto area and speak English and Russian.
