A few examples of the problems I like most: turning product into durable revenue, and building the systems that keep it compounding.

Doubling product-led conversion on a $2B-volume platform

2xproduct-led conversion

Context

A travel platform processing over $2B in annual volume had a self-serve funnel that stalled well before value. Growth was stuck behind a high-touch sales motion that could not scale.

Approach

  • Mapped the full activation path and instrumented the drop-off points between sign-up and first booking.
  • Rebuilt onboarding around the single moment of value, cutting steps and deferring friction.
  • Introduced usage-based packaging that let customers start small and expand naturally.

Outcome

Product-led conversion doubled within two quarters, and expansion revenue became a repeatable, measurable motion rather than a series of one-off deals.

Repricing a stalled SaaS product around value

+38%net revenue retention

Context

A mid-market SaaS product had flat expansion and heavy discounting. Pricing was cost-plus and disconnected from the value customers actually received.

Approach

  • Ran willingness-to-pay research and identified the true value metric.
  • Restructured tiers around outcomes and aligned the sales incentive with expansion.
  • Migrated existing accounts with a grandfathering plan that protected retention.

Outcome

Net revenue retention improved by 38 points, and discounting dropped sharply as reps could finally anchor on value.

2019 — 2021

Building a product organization that could scale

4 → 18product team growth

Context

A fast-growing startup had outgrown its founder-led product process. Roadmaps were reactive and teams lacked clear decision rights.

Approach

  • Installed a product operating model with clear rituals and ownership.
  • Introduced an ROI-based prioritization framework adopted across the company.
  • Hired and mentored a team of PMs from four to eighteen.

Outcome

The org shipped predictably against a prioritized roadmap, and product decisions became evidence-driven rather than personality-driven.
