Engineering Product Manager

Network Platform

I thrive at the intersection of complex infrastructure and seamless developer experiences. With 20+ years of experience in the networking and security industries, I’ve seen the evolution of the “manual CLI” era to the “API-first” world. Today, as a Product Manager at Cisco Meraki, my team leads the strategy for our API Platform and Ecosystem, turning robust infrastructure into a programmable asset for thousands of global enterprises. My approach to Product Management is rooted in three pillars: 1. Developer-Centricity: Building APIs and SDKs that aren’t just functional, but delightful to use. 2. Strategic Ecosystems: Partnering with giants like Red Hat and Terraform to extend our product reach into the Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC) realm, as well as innovative partners like Boundless Digital and SplashAccess to expand business outcomes through our platform. 3. Simplification: Taking complex security concepts (like OAuth 2.0) and distilling them into intuitive user experiences that solve real business pain points. I am passionate about empowering engineers to work smarter through automation. Whether I’m presenting at Cisco Live or collaborating on a new Ansible collection, my goal is the same: scale the impact of technology through better design.
