Product Development: Expert Experience at AI Velocity
Drawing on decades of experience in product development and a track record of innovation, I help companies create breakthrough digital products that drive success and user delight.
Digital media actually found me early in my career. While Senior Editor of Disney Adventures magazine in the early 90’s, I was tasked with creating and running the Walt Disney Company’s first-ever online presence—a milestone in the company’s digital history.
Shortly after, I joined the founding team at CNET, a pioneer in data-driven publishing and the CMS. There I helped shape its core properties, including CNET.com, News.com, and Download.com, along with joint ventures with Intel, E! and NBC. I also produced CNET’s first TV series, “CNET Central”.
Following my work with CNET, I became a partner at 12 Entrepreneuring, an early and experimental VC/incubator where we sought to conceive and build transformative and disruptive digital businesses.
In 2001, I became President of IFILM, the first platform to stream video at scale. There I led the consumer business overseeing programming, marketing, sales, product and technology. I also expanded the brand to larger screens through theatrical and television partnerships with AMC Theatres and IFC.
In 2003, I started Voci Group LLC to deliver strategic product and UX expertise to bold, dynamic companies across all sectors and stages. Every day I work with clients to build impactful digital products that grow their businesses and delight users. I leverage my deep knowledge of what works with the AI tools that are accelerating how products get deployed–faster, sharper, and more iterative than ever.
When I’m not developing products, I’m helping others develop healthy habits as a National Board Certified Health Coach. I have served as Vice-Chair and Treasurer of the Board of Directors of APLA Health and I hold a degree in Human Biology from Stanford University.
Work Terms
I work on an hourly rate under an overall services agreement and provide estimates before starting on a project. This allows clients to use me as needed without committing to an overall fee or retainer. I am generally available up to 20 hours per week, but have flexibility based on the size of projects.
