  • Own 0141 product definition in ambiguous areas
  • Drive adoption and monetization, not just launches: ensure workflows are actually used
  • Improve speed of iteration across product (faster cycles, tighter feedback loops)
  • Contribute to product narrative + positioning
Net impact

  • Background in fintech or vertical SaaS (Ramp, Brex, Mercury, etc.)
  • Bonus: engineering background
