Hi, I’m Michelle.
I drive digital product delivery with agility, business acumen, and clear communication.
I'm a planner, an organizer, a clarifier, a visionary, and the grease that keeps cross-functional teams in motion.
How I Lead
I own the arc, not just the sprint: what we build, what we deliberately don't, and the sequencing that gets a platform from where it is to where the market is going. I build roadmaps that survive contact with a kanban board and an engineering standup on the same day.
HIPAA, SOC 2, FedRAMP, CFPB, lending regulations—I've spent my career in categories where the constraints are non-negotiable. The leverage is in designing with it early rather than retrofitting around it late.
Clear requirements are a leadership act. I've built the habits—data-grounded hypotheses, real use-case coverage before a ticket is written, decisions documented with their tradeoffs—that let engineering, marketing, and sales move fast because the ambiguity was removed and the why was defined upstream.
Sales knows what's blocking the deal. Engineering knows what's expensive. Customers know what's broken. My job is holding all three (plus any other stakeholders who are invested) at once and making the calls that the business can actually execute.
