Skills & Honest Gaps
Self-assessed — because knowing what you don't know matters as much as knowing what you do.
AI / ML
- MLOps infrastructure ownership (I partner with ML engineers)
- Model training (I work with trained models, not train them)
Leadership
- Managing PMs who manage PMs — I've led IC PMs, not PM managers
- C-suite reporting — Director/VP level, not yet Chief Product Officer
- Org sizes above 25 — largest team I've built was 18 people total
Product & Growth
- Pure enterprise sales-led motion — strongest in B2C, prosumer, and PLG
- Marketplace liquidity at 1M+ supply-side scale (have done early-stage)
- Hardware / physical product experience — I'm entirely digital/software
Technical
- Direct engineering (I partner with engineers, I do not write production code)
