Location: San Francisco Bay Area, United States
Profile: https://flows.cv/shannyn

Executive product and design leader focused on driving growth, revenue, and organizational scale across consumer and enterprise technology platforms, including AI-enabled products and services. I partner with executive teams to define product strategy, lead transformation initiatives, and deliver customer experiences that move core business metrics.

I've led and scaled global, multidisciplinary teams across Meta, Amazon, and high-growth technology companies, owning end-to-end product and design strategy across marketplaces, mobile platforms, messaging, and enterprise products. My experience spans consumer, B2B, and regulated operating environments.

I'm most effective in executive leadership and advisory roles where product strategy, growth, and AI-driven innovation intersect — particularly in complex, ambiguous environments requiring decisive leadership and strong cross-functional alignment. I'm often brought in to build and scale high-performing, global teams, establish operating models that sustain quality at scale, and elevate product and design organizations to deliver consistent business impact.
