You might know me from my podcast, PM Happy Hour! Happy to meet you, I'd love to hear more about you and what you're working on. Day to day, my specialty is bringing the rubber to meet the road: I love facilitating cross functional teamwork when it's really ambiguous and messy and no one knows how to bring a vision to life. I inspire others to join the effort, create accountability to each other, and am excited for what we can create together. I'm currently at PayPal in the Technology Leadership Program, a 2 year rotation program with 4 six-month rotations. I'm also co-hosting my podcast, PM Happy Hour, nerding out about project management techniques, good communication and ppm tools with Kim Essendrup.
