About me

I’m endlessly curious about new ideas—especially those that turn complex problems into elegant, intuitive solutions. Sometimes the best answers come from reimagining old challenges; other times, they emerge through analysis and discovering unexpected connections beneath the surface.

I enjoy exploring bold questions like “What if?” or “Why not?” because they unlock possibilities we may not have considered. I’m not one to accept “we’ve always done it this way”—I prefer to challenge assumptions and envision smarter, more future-ready paths forward.

Whether I’m strategizing a new product, tackling a tough decision, or shaping a vision, I approach problems from multiple angles—anticipating roadblocks, identifying opportunities, and charting a clear course of action. I find real energy in articulating strategy in a way that brings others along for the journey.

I also value honest conversations and thoughtful feedback. I believe growth comes from asking the hard questions, staying open to new perspectives, and constantly evolving. While I take pride in being a subject matter expert, I’m just as energized by stepping into the unknown—diving into new domains, expanding my skillset, and pushing the boundaries of what I know.

At my core, I’m an analyst. I’m drawn to the “why” behind the “what,” and I love building frameworks that help translate insights into action—and shape what’s next.

I couldn't speak more highly about Brian's product management and team management skills. He is truly one of the best product management leaders with whom I've had the pleasure of working. Brian was dedicated to driving his team forward, improving and implementing well-defined processes, and overall driving his team to the next level. Brian was also easy to work with and he would be a perfect fit for any team. I could not speak more highly of Brian.

It was directly because of Brian's innovations and forward thinking that the entire brand changed the way business was evaluated and rightfully earned him high accolades from senior leadership across the company. In spending many hours with him in the office and on the road during development and rollout, you get to know someone pretty well. Truly, Brian is one of the most talented and intelligent leaders I have ever worked with and has the personality to match his impressive skill set and talents. I truly hope we will be able to work together again in the future.
