product & operations manager leveraging data

Product ManagementBusiness IntelligenceData AnalyticsMarketing

I bootstrapped a furniture business to $80K straight out of high school. I did it by talking to people, figuring out what they actually needed, and building it. Some of those products became bestsellers in their category on one of the world's largest online marketplaces. That instinct never left.

I've had data analysis reports picked up by other media outlets. I build things that solve customer problems. I care about the planet. Not as a brand value. As a standard business practice.

Now I'm finishing a Master of Business Analytics at Hult in Boston. The degree gave me something specific: I can now read data properly, build analytics that actually hold up, and think critically about what the numbers are not telling me. Because data never shows you everything.

My experience is wide. Manufacturing, sales, analytics, product marketing.

That range is not because I do not know what I want. The problems worth solving are too tangled for a single lens.

I worked with the startup that built the lightest ski touring binding in the world. We won the ISPO Most Innovative Product award multiple times. Great product. But we were not solving a real problem customers had. For me, being obsessed with the customer and understanding their problems is the whole point.

SIGNAL ACQUIRED
DOC · TRX-001 · WHITE PAPER DECRYPTING

Extended Producer Responsibility in the United States

A field report on EPR. What it is, why the US is late, and what shipping it well looks like.

EPR shifts the cost of end-of-life products from cities to the producers who put them on the market. Europe has had a decade-long head start. This paper maps the US landscape, surfaces what's working at the state level, and argues for a sharper national framework. One that designs waste out instead of paying to clean it up.

The most important thing to teach your children is that the sun does not rise and set. It is the Earth that revolves around the sun.
