About

I'm a Staff Product Manager based in New York City. Before that, I was a corporate real estate attorney at international law firms in New Zealand, closing deals across some of the Pacific's most significant property transactions.

Those two sentences confuse people at first. They shouldn't.

What I actually do—in both careers—is translate between worlds that don't naturally speak to each other. In law, it was between clients, counterparties, and commercial reality. In product it's between engineers, enterprise customers, and business strategy. The skill is the same. The domain changed.

That pattern-recognition across disciplines is the thing I bring to every room I walk into.


On the product side, I've spent the last several years building at the infrastructure layer of B2B SaaS—API platforms, enterprise integrations, the unglamorous connective tissue that makes software actually work at scale. Most recently at AgentSync, I took a contracting product from zero to multi-million dollar ARR and shipped a major enterprise integration that opened an entirely new market segment for the company. Before that, at Homebot, I worked on products that helped homeowners and lenders make smarter decisions about one of the most consequential assets most people ever own.

I gravitate toward products where the stakes are real and the complexity is high — where getting it wrong has consequences beyond a bad NPS score.


On the human side, I grew up in Fiji until I was twelve, then moved to New Zealand, where I built my early career. From there: London, Melbourne, San Francisco, Denver, and eventually New York. That's a lot of cities, a lot of airports, and a lot of rooms where I was the person nobody could quite place.

That experience—of being perpetually between places, cultures, and identities—is what eventually led me to starting a production company, and toward a second act in documentary filmmaking. I'm interested in the stories of people who grew up between worlds—never fully from one place, always carrying pieces of several.

New York suits me. It's the only city I've found that takes being between worlds completely for granted.


Currently, I'm exploring Staff and Principal PM roles at companies building serious B2B infrastructure—places where a PM who can read a contract, architect an integration, and write a strategy doc without outsourcing any of it is genuinely useful.

If that sounds like your team, or if you're working on something in the documentary space and want to talk—I'd love to hear from you.

A few things I believe:

  • The best PMs are translators, not managers.

  • Legal training is underrated preparation for product work.

  • A low ego-to-learning ratio compounds faster than almost any other professional asset.

  • Kindness is a strategy, not a personality quirk.

  • You can take the work seriously without taking yourself seriously. Humor is underrated in rooms where the stakes feel high.

  • Courage means shipping the thing before it's perfect, taking the hard stance in the meeting, and being willing to change your mind publicly.

  • Good documentation is a form of respect.

  • Creativity isn't a department. It's what happens when you stay curious long enough.
