As an accomplished product management leader, I have a strong track record of successfully launching and growing consumer products on platforms like YouTube, Twitter, and Snapchat. I currently serve as the Senior Director of Product Management at YouTube, where I spearheaded the Shorts team, encompassing Creation, Consumption, Recommendations, and Infrastructure. As the founding Product Manager for Shorts, I have played a pivotal role in its growth, reaching over 2 billion monthly users and 70 billion daily views. Please check out this episode of Creator Support, where I discuss YouTube Shorts with Colin & Samir.
My passion lies in shaping and scaling early-stage products, and I have a proven history of leading large-scale initiatives that involve the collaboration of hundreds of engineers. My areas of proficiency include multi-sided platforms, ecosystems, network effects, disruption, short-form video, video creation tools, generative AI, machine learning, content recommendations, video playback, social media products, product strategy, customer obsession, internet culture, user experience, product definition, and roadmaps.
I earned my B.S. in Computer Engineering from Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University, a Master's in Systems Engineering from Georgia Tech, and an MBA from Rollins College.
