About
People Purpose Product is my practice. I work as a fractional product lead for nonprofits and impact-focused organizations in civic tech and foundations. They have funding and no product DNA. I write about that work here. My purpose is simple: help the helpers of the world have a bigger impact through software.
I've spent my career moving between coaching and product management, always close to the people a product serves. I was a founding team member and Head of Coaching at Kromatic, where I worked with more than 30 organizations, including Siemens, Unilever, General Mills, the US Government, and United Way, teaching innovation tools and coaching teams through discovery and validation.
As a product manager, I've shipped products that serve people: affordable housing platforms for the City of Detroit and the Bay Area, a resource directory connecting San Francisco families to critical services, and a worker-owned platform advancing economic justice for gig workers with Driver's Seat Cooperative. Most recently, I've been leading product on AI tools that help parents navigate government benefits programs.
Now I'm focused on a narrow question: what happens when mission-driven organizations get access to the same tools enterprises have, and use them without losing what makes them different?
If any of this resonates, I'd love to talk. Book a 30 minute call to go over what you are working on and how I can help.
