About
I grew up in Boston, went to college in Los Angeles, lived in Budapest, and finally settled down in San Francisco.
Currently, I lead the product team at FitStar, a personalized fitness app that was recently acquired by Fitbit. In the past I’ve managed product, design, and analytics groups at various consumer-focused software companies.
