01 Buyer insight

Give buyers evidence they can use.

Analyst reports pointed to growing Kubernetes fleets. I saw an opportunity to help buyers compare their practices and maturity.

I won funding after a year of advocacy, commissioned the study, and wrote the survey questions.

The report gives buyers a peer benchmark and field teams a resource for prospect conversations.

03 Learning and leadership

Help teams do better work.

Learn early. Bring others with you.

The day after we received Google Gemini access, I founded Red Hat's Product Marketing and AI Guild to learn, share and experiment. The community grew to 190+ members in its first year and now also uses Claude, ChatGPT and Cursor.

I've created more than 50 AI skills and built a catalog to share them with colleagues.

Colleagues use my simulated CISO, IT buyer, and skeptical reviewer skills to challenge messaging and materials.

One of the tools I built

OpenShift + partner joint messaging skill

  1. 01
    Bring the context

    Users upload partner information.

  2. 02
    Create the first draft

    The skill creates a joint messaging guide, quick reference card, and sales deck.

  3. 03
    Review and refine

    The partner business manager verifies the information with the product marketing team.

A career through technology shifts

See the shift.
Get the team ready.

I look for changes that matter to buyers and help teams decide how to respond.

That means making the case for action, shaping the message, and building resources people can use.
