The person you’d actually be working with

I’m a product leader based in Indianapolis. For ten years, I’ve helped growing companies turn a big idea and a scrappy team into something real, organized, and built to last.

Most recently, I spent four years as VP of Product at an IT asset management company. I was their first product hire, walking into two junior engineers and no real process. I built the whole function from the ground up: how the team worked, how people grew, what they focused on, and a brand-new software platform that became the tool the entire company ran on day to day. I did it from a seat on the four-person leadership team, with my hands on the work the whole time.

Before that, I spent five years at a healthcare data company, where I grew through four roles, from their first product manager to Director of Product Design. I learned how one change for one kind of customer ripples out to everyone else, and I helped take brand-new products from a first idea to real customers.

My background covers the whole picture: strategy, product, design, operations, and working shoulder to shoulder with engineers. I’m as comfortable setting the long-term plan as I am talking to your customers, sitting with the team day to day, or presenting to the people you answer to.

These days, that work happens through Kienzle Innovations. I take on just a few businesses at a time so each one gets my full attention, and I shape the work around whatever you actually need.

Outside of work, I enjoy jogging and being outdoors, trying new bars and restaurants with my girlfriend Ana, and heaping lots of love onto my two cats, Charlie and Frankenstein.
