What I’m doing now:
I'm Head of Product Experience at Agent.ai, where we're building an agent builder tool and agent marketplace for SMB.

What I'm working on:
-
Prepping a talk for UNBOUND 2026, about keeping work weird
-
Wrapping up a major new product launch, with updated core features, an AI-chat based homepage, and a new onboarding path
-
Talking to customers, founders, and fellow builders. We're in a time of massive opportunity and I love hearing what folks are working on.

What I’m thinking about:
- What does "activation" mean for an agentic product, anyway?
- How can small teams prevent the inevitable creep into big company cosplay?
- Why is it so important to keep things weird at work? And how can you do that without, well, making it weird?

What I've been saying:
I gave a talk at INBOUND 2025 called "The Creative's Guide to AI: Thriving in the Age of Agents," where I shared the Sweet Spot approach to using AI at work.
At UNBOUND 2026, I'll be talking about Why Weird Works — an exploration of weirdness as a real competitive moat, and arguably the only thing that makes going to work any fun.
I write and speak about making AI products more fun, about the role of craft and creativity in (as the kids say) The Age of AI, and about how product teams can build trust with their users with really freaking good content and design.

Where I've been:
I spent formative years — almost 14 of them! — at HubSpot during the early inbound marketing era, when we were still figuring out how to make great business software accessible to small companies who'd never had tools like that before. That experience reinforced how I've always felt about tech: that the best products don't just work for people with big checkbooks and big names, they work for everyone. Regular people who want to make a difference. That still drives me today.
I'm an alumna of Mount Holyoke College, where I learned to ask better questions and think in systems that will build a better world. I earned my MBA at Simmons University, where I focused on values-led leadership and mentoring in tech. I do some consulting work with startups and nonprofits. I love working with curious, kind people who believe optimism is a superpower — and doing the right thing is its own reward. If you love the Muppets deeply, it's a good sign we'll get along.

What I’m open to:
I'm interested in chatting about:
- Hands-on roles at AI-native companies that prioritize getting stuff done
- Speaking engagements at conferences, podcasts, and company events
- Advisory work with founders and product leaders working on AI-native products with heart
Not sure if it's a fit? That's cool. But maybe reach out anyway? You've gotten this far!
