Currently, I’m simplifying how restaurants manage and pay their teams.
Starting as a scheduling app, 7shifts has evolved into a complete team management platform for restaurants. I joined the team to help venture into a new space - payroll. In just a few months from launch, we successfully paid over $50 million dollars to thousands of restaurant employees.
Biggest lesson:
Simplify ruthlessly. A kick-ass half is better than a half-assed whole.
Recently, I helped launch a health data API product and brand.
Alongside a small, newly formed product team, we pivoted a medical record retrieval service into Marble, a health data API platform for health and adjacent industries - in other words, Plaid for health data. I led research and design as we explored this new space and raised funding to bring the product to market.
Biggest lesson:
Do things that don’t scale - be scrappy. Optimize for learning at every step.
Previously, I helped wealth advisors to see a 360° view into their client portfolios.
At PureFacts, we reinvented our reporting platform, shifting from custom client solutions to a highly contextual experience designed to match the advisor-investor relationship. Along the way, we also experimented with AI concepts to help predict client churn.
Biggest lesson:
Although users and buyers may be different, always talk to end users first.
