Hello! I'm Sam, a product leader skilled in turning trends into visions, crafting strategies with an entrepreneurial spirit, and driving growth through innovation, process and culture.
I’m a product leader who can synthesize market trends into visions, loves to build product strategy with an entrepreneurial mindset, and drives growth by staying nimble and innovative. With experience in B2B, FinTech and AI, my track record consists of a long history of successes, failures, and hard lessons. Even though my sweet spot has always been zero to one, these days, I’m obsessed with optimization and scale. I lead by example, lead to serve others and lead to inspire. I am passionate about combining the best of technology, data and design to build and execute a successful product vision.
When I’m not doing product, I’m being a dad, mentoring startups, coaching product managers, and working on my weekly newsletter, The Product Trench.
