Director of Product, Evernote Business
2017 - 2018
Worked to bring Evernote into business. Created, championed and led a product discovery process for an Evernote Business product. Worked to align exec team on the current state of product/market fit, what product/market fit would look like, and a process for getting there. Built a team of very talented product managers in a challenging operating environment. We launched free trials, business accounts, GDPR compliance, sharing and identity improvements, and a new organizational system called Spaces. Ultimately I yearned to return to my startup roots, as I learned how hard it was to change a long-established business.
Staff Engineer, Dropbox Business
2014 - 2017
I joined Dropbox as part of the acquisition of my startup, MobileSpan, in 2014. I conceived, championed, and executed one of the biggest product initiatives we've ever taken at Dropbox: re-thinking the Dropbox Business experience as a collaboration space for teams with granular permissions. As part of this initiative, we launched the new Team Folder to GA in December 2016, enabling us to enter a new market with significant upside. The journey continues.
