Hi, I'm Emily.

I’m a Product Management leader in cybersecurity startups and growth phase companies. I'm an expert in cybersecurity market analysis, feature prioritization, and strategic roadmapping. I'm equally comfortable working with business leaders and technologists, and I'm sales team friendly. I have built both UI based and API based products in regulated and complex industries. I excel at launching large, new products or initiatives, as well as founding or restarting a product department.

I founded the In the Lab program in 2022 with the mission to pull more people from underrepresented backgrounds into product management. I've trained over 200 product managers, who are now employed at places like Capital One and NBC Universal.
