A Pivot to Product
As a product manager, I have led multiple software product lifecycles to drive HPC and AI platform leadership through extended unified multi-architecture support (CPUs, GPUs, and AI ASICs) from edge to cloud and deeper integration with out-of-the-box optimizations for industry standard libraries, tools, and frameworks (Hugging Face, Triton, PyTorch, and many others).
As a "full-stack" product marketing manager, I lead all aspects of product marketing for software ranging from open source developer tools and extensions to partner and ecosystem libraries to enterprise software offerings with 100k to 10M users. While primarily focused on GTM execution and associated positioning, messaging, content creation, and promotion, I have also worked extensively on sales enablement collateral, partner co-marketing, gathering market analysis and customer feedback to inform engineering requirements, analyst/press/investor relations, and identifying gaps and priorities with business development. Developer outreach in my developer relations role has involved increased engagement through ecosystem events, developer communities, hackathons, and meetups.
