I help AI bets
become AI businesses.

Babbly ↗

I founded and led Babbly, the world's first AI platform that detects speech milestones and risk of delay in infants. Built from the ground up and used by families across the US and Canada.

We raised from top VCs and public funds, recruited engineers from Amazon Alexa and Google, and built a clinical and business advisory board around the company.

Building data products is hard. Building AI products when the data doesn't exist is harder. At Babbly, we did both: creating the dataset, the models, and the product from scratch.

In 2024, I led the IP sale, licensing our technology to a European group focused on infant cry detection, and to the University of Chicago to extend the platform into earlier diagnosis of conditions like Autism and Apraxia.

Viral Moment ↗

I led product at Viral Moment (an AI platform analyzing social video for Fortune 100 brands like Coca-Cola, Disney, Warner Bros, and NBCUniversal) while the CEO was on maternity leave.

I owned the strategic roadmap and launched a Comment Analysis product that hit 80% client adoption and an NPS of 60, both well above the team's engagement benchmarks. The work spanned customer discovery, feature prioritization, cross-functional execution with engineering, and direct CEO-coverage with the board and key clients.

NEXT Canada ↗

As Venture Manager at NEXT Canada, I led a portfolio of 20 AI and venture-backed startups across the NEXT AI and NEXT 36 programs.

I advised founders on product-market fit, go-to-market, and fundraising through weekly office hours, monthly workshops, and 1:1 strategy. Alongside the Chief Program Officer, I led initiatives on program positioning, venture pipeline development, and ecosystem partnerships.

Samsung

As VP of Product Innovation at Idea Couture, I led the executive team working with Samsung Electronics on next-generation wearables, smart home, and mobile experiences.

Our work shaped products that later became part of Samsung's earbud, smartwatch, and smart TV lines. Over my time at Idea Couture, I doubled the product innovation practice in under two years and grew annual revenue 150% for two consecutive years. The firm was acquired by Cognizant (NYSE: CTSH) in 2016.
